Case Study: Berkel & Company Contractors achieves lower costs and improved uptime with Apptix Hosted Services

Apptix Helps Berkel Stay Current with Technology & Grow as a Company

Berkel & Company Contractors, a global heavy construction firm, grew to 800 employees and more than $250 million in annual sales, putting major strain on its aging email infrastructure and limited in-house IT resources. To avoid overhauling a legacy server, the company evaluated hosted services and looked for a more cost-effective, scalable option from Apptix, using hosted Exchange email along with mobile email, anti-virus/spam protection, and SharePoint.

Apptix implemented a hosted Microsoft Exchange solution that provided stronger uptime, 24/7 support, mobile access, and easier administration through a single control panel. The results included lower monthly costs, improved employee efficiency, and expanded features; Berkel reported 50% savings versus in-house Exchange in the first year, while also gaining reliable access for mobile and global users.
