Turn your Outlook email and SharePoint files into a data license payout
Outlook mailboxes, SharePoint sites and OneDrive folders hold most of an established firm's working past, and are often the one full account of how a project or client relationship played out. Ventra singles out email as a priority, and Outlook is on Mode's and Grepped's lists.

What to keep out
- Executive and HR mailboxes
- Personal OneDrive folders
- SharePoint sites for clients or legal matters

How the handover works
- 1
Scope
Agree which Microsoft 365 areas and date ranges go in, in writing, before anything is exported.
- 2
Collect
Your admin exports, or the buyer reads only approved sources through limited access. Never hand over an admin password.
- 3
Clean and sample
The buyer removes names and personal details, and you review a cleaned sample before release.
- 4
Get paid, confirm deletion
Payment usually lands three to six weeks after signing. Ask for written confirmation that raw files were deleted.
