Case Study: UVEX Group achieves a unified global Office 365 workplace and improved collaboration for 2,000+ employees with Avanade

Uvex group goes digital with international workforce and migrates over 2,000 employees to Office 365

uvex group, an international leader in sporting and workplace safety products, needed to modernize its digital workplace after years of growth left it with disparate productivity and email systems (Lotus Notes, GroupWise, legacy on‑premises Office) across multiple countries. With more than 2,000 employees to support and a tight timeline before the 2016 fiscal year end, the company set a goal to unify collaboration and identity on a single platform.

Avanade was selected to deliver a rapid Office 365 migration and unified Active Directory, handling upgrades, staged roll‑outs, identity migration, and training/change management while providing ongoing support. The result was a modern, scalable digital workplace that boosted collaboration and productivity, reduced IT complexity and costs, simplified account management, and prepared uvex to adopt future services like Skype telephony.
