Struggling to automate data flows across Microsoft 365 without creating technical debt or compliance gaps?
The situation this course is for
Even with experienced teams, integrating Microsoft Graph API at scale introduces subtle risks, over-permissioned apps, inconsistent delta sync logic, unhandled throttling, and audit gaps. These don’t break systems immediately, but compound quietly until migration timelines slip or compliance audits reveal exposure. Most guides stop at 'hello world', this course starts where they end.
Who this is for
Technical architects and integration leads managing Microsoft 365 data pipelines with an eye on compliance, scalability, and long-term maintainability
Who this is not for
Developers looking for introductory tutorials or video walkthroughs of basic API calls
What you walk away with
- Design permission-scoped apps that pass security review on first submission
- Implement reliable delta sync strategies for mail, files, and users
- Automate retention workflows across SharePoint and OneDrive with precision
- Handle throttling and retry logic without degrading system performance
- Generate audit-ready logs for every data access and transfer event
