Microsoft unifies large-scale data management under Purview framework

Most of Microsoft's major data management solutions are being unified under the company's "Purview" branding, bringing together the functionality of Azure Purview and Microsoft 365 compliance to create a single framework for data governance and risk management.

A host of individual products are being renamed to reflect the new unification, mostly on the Microsoft 365 side of the house, to fit in with the new "Microsoft Purview" branding. The idea is to make it easier for companies with multicloud and multiplatform environments to implement data governance technology.
