Case Study: Global Mining Company saves up to $1.25M per year with Avanade

Global mining company saves up to $1.25M per year

A global mining company with roughly 30,000 users and more than 400 TB of accumulated data faced urgent challenges after a complex merger: disparate content platforms, two global SharePoint instances, and limited IT resources made it difficult to manage access, permissions and migrations quickly and securely. The company needed rapid visibility into where employees were going and what permissions they had to protect proprietary information and complete divestiture transitions.

Avanade and Metalogix migrated over 20 TB and millions of documents to the latest SharePoint and Office 365 using Content Matrix and implemented ControlPoint for governance and permissions. The project (completed in 15 months) cut permission-reporting from multiple weeks to a single person doing it in five minutes, enabled delta migrations outside business hours, provided 24/7 support and delivered an estimated cost savings of up to $1.25M per year with ROI in under a year.
