2025-26 DCIG TOP 5 Microsoft 365 SaaS Backup Solutions – Enterprise Edition Report Released

August 14, 2025 — DCIG, a leading independent research and advisory firm, has announced the immediate availability of its highly anticipated 2025-26 DCIG TOP 5 Microsoft 365 SaaS Backup Solutions – Enterprise Edition Report. This comprehensive report aims to provide enterprises with expert guidance on selecting the best backup solutions to protect data stored within Microsoft 365 environments.

Expanding Enterprise Use of Microsoft 365

Marking its twelfth year since launch, Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) continues to see remarkable growth across organizations worldwide. Initially launched in 2013, Microsoft 365's adoption accelerated rapidly during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Since then, the platform has expanded from approximately 20 million users in 2020 to more than 430 million paid commercial users globally as of 2025. In addition, Microsoft Teams, a cornerstone collaboration tool within Microsoft 365, counts over 300 million active monthly users, with 93% of Fortune 100 companies relying on it for corporate communications.

Microsoft has also enhanced its presence in enterprises through advanced offerings such as:

  • Microsoft Entra: The rebranded Azure Active Directory serving as the foundational identity and access management platform within Microsoft 365. Entra delivers essential security functions including single sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA), user governance, and management of AI agents accessing enterprise resources.

  • Microsoft Power Platform: Tools like Power Automate and Power BI help enterprises automate workflows and gain actionable insights by consolidating applications and data in Microsoft 365. The integration of Microsoft Copilot, an AI-powered assistant embedded in Microsoft 365, further strengthens these capabilities by assisting in tasks ranging from drafting emails to summarizing reports, tailoring insights specifically to an enterprise’s data.

The Critical Need to Protect Microsoft 365 Data

As enterprises deepen their reliance on Microsoft 365 and adopt these evolving features, protecting the vast and diverse data stored across Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams, Entra, and Power Platform becomes increasingly complex and vital.

Despite these advancements, support for backing up data related to newer Microsoft 365 services remains in its infancy. Enterprises are advised to carefully evaluate third-party SaaS backup providers’ roadmaps and capabilities to ensure comprehensive data protection across all Microsoft 365 components.

Optimus Robots and the Baby Boom: A Chief of Staff’s Framework for the Future of Childcare Picture this: I’m at a tech conference, sipping overpriced coffee, when I stumble upon a demo that stops me in my tracks. There, in the middle of a sleek booth, is a robot— Optimus , to be exact—cradling a baby doll with the kind of precision that would make any parent envious. It’s feeding, rocking, and even humming a lullaby. I laugh to myself, thinking, “Well, that’s one way to solve the nanny shortage.” But as I watch, a thought creeps in: this isn’t just a novelty. This is the future. And as a Chief of Staff, it’s exactly the kind of future I'd like to think through — because my job is to help my executive navigate what’s coming next, even if it involves robots babysitting our kids. You might be wondering, “What does a Chief of Staff have to do with robots in childcare?” Fair question. But here’s the thing: as the right-hand to a CEO, I’m not just managing schedules or projects—I’m scann...
