Advertising is a fast-paced industry. Tight client timelines, multiple stakeholders, multi-format content, and campaigns require quick decision making, on-time project delivery, and prompt client communication. However, the client’s existing on-premise IT setup was holding them back from doing just that.
Our client is one of India’s top 3 advertising agencies, with a global history spanning over 140 years. The global organization boasts of presence in 100+ countries and employs over 8000 people worldwide. 53 of the advertising agency’s Indian clients are category leaders.
Embee’s solution architects pitched and implemented Microsoft 365 to help the client overcome its challenges to collaborate better and improve data availability and help retain its market position.
Challenges
- Executives were unable to access their e-mail and data remotely.
- Internal teams were unable to share, store, and easily access large files resulting in inefficiency.
- Lack of data security, automated backup, quick disaster recovery, and the constant risk of permanent loss of data.
- Extreme pressure on the company’s on-premises data storage capacity.
Embee implemented M365 for better collaboration, security, data availability and process optimization.
The client was using Exchange 2007, Windows Server, and SharePoint on-premise as their primary solution stack. However, the client recognized the need for a refreshed technology landscape.
The two primary expectations from the new system were the ability for client executives to access corporate data on the go, and the ability to be able to easily share and locate all files. Additionally, they wanted the solution to address the growing storage and data backup concerns.
Embee, being an existing and reliable partner to the client, had an extremely good grasp of the client’s stated requirements and unstated pain points, and their expectations in terms of features and service availability levels. The client evaluated all the options from on-premise improvements to cloud-based upgrade options and they eventually chose to move to the Microsoft 365 platform.
