Case Study: Fairport Central School District achieves compliant Google Apps rollout with Backupify

Fairport Successfully Implements Google Apps With Backupify

Backupify, a leader in cloud-to-cloud backup, helped Fairport Central School District — which serves 6,400 students across 8 schools with 1,500 staff — address a major adoption challenge: as the district moved to Google Apps, many schedule-governed records (board agendas, payroll, etc.) began originating in Google Docs but needed to be retained under New York State schedule NYSED ED-1. Fairport required a reliable archiving solution to meet strict data retention and compliance requirements before rolling out Google Apps across administration.

Backupify provided an easy-to-use cloud-to-cloud backup solution with simple search, access, and the ability to export local copies, and worked closely with the district to adapt the product for education needs. The result: Fairport could confidently deploy Google Apps district-wide while maintaining regulatory compliance and secure access to archived records.
