New harmon.ie – IT Approval Kit
Executive summary
New harmon.ie is a modern Outlook add-in that enables users to save emails and attachments directly into Microsoft 365 repositories (SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive) instead of leaving important business content in inboxes.
- Turns email into managed Microsoft 365 content
- Improves findability, governance, and collaboration
- Reduces reliance on personal mailboxes, PSTs, and unmanaged storage
- Keeps all content under existing Microsoft 365 security, retention, and eDiscovery controls
New harmon.ie is typically deployed when email is part of project, case, matter, or client workflows and needs to be governed like other Microsoft 365 content.
