Case Study: a large U.S. federal agency reduces Outlook email traffic and storage by 70% with balesio FILEminimizer

balesio helps large U.S. Federal Agency reduce network traffic and email data storage in Microsoft Outlook environment by 70%

A large U.S. federal agency faced a significant challenge with high email network traffic and data storage costs caused by the large size of attachments like MS Office files and PDFs sent through Microsoft Outlook. This unstructured data was straining bandwidth and causing explosive growth in .PST files. To address this, the agency worked with balesio and deployed its FILEminimizer software.

balesio’s solution leveraged its Native Format Optimization technology, which was integrated directly into the Microsoft Outlook environment. The software reduced the size of email attachments by 50-90%. This led to a 50-70% reduction in email traffic, flattened .PST file growth by over 50%, and saved the agency tens of thousands of dollars in data storage and network costs.
