Case Study: Jour de la Terre achieves centralized IT control, cost savings, and environmental-impact insights with Amazon Web Services

Jour de la Terre - Customer Case Study

Jour de la Terre is a Canadian environmental nonprofit that partners with businesses, nonprofits, and volunteers to scale conservation projects (including tree planting, rain-barrel distribution, e‑waste collection, and waste-reduction workshops). The organization had grown a patchwork of unmanaged IT services—exacerbated by high staff turnover—which left it without clear visibility into hosted services, credentials, costs, backups, security, or the environmental footprint of its infrastructure.

Working with APN partner LinkByNet, Jour de la Terre migrated databases, websites, mail, and collaboration tools to AWS (Amazon S3, EC2, WorkMail, and WorkDocs), centralizing control while preserving agility. The move improved backups, resiliency, security, and collaboration, increased staff efficiency by about 15%, cut IT running costs by roughly 20%, and gave the organization measurable insight into the environmental impact of its IT.
