Case Study: JAE Restaurant Group achieves secure, scalable, lower-cost email for 5,000+ employees with 11:11 Systems

JAE Restaurant Group - Customer Case Study

JAE Group, which operates 177 Wendy’s restaurants across the American South and employs over 5,000 people, faced soaring per‑user costs for outsourced email and communication services. The IT team didn’t want to bring hosting fully in‑house but needed a secure, highly available, and backed‑up solution that wouldn’t balloon with headcount growth.

They selected iland’s Secure Cloud to host Microsoft Exchange, gaining built‑in backup, advanced security, and responsive support at a much lower cost than their previous provider. Onboarding was fast, admins can scale resources or add capacity without downtime, employees enjoy reliable access, and IT now spends less time troubleshooting and is planning to consolidate additional systems onto the iland platform.
