Case Study: Groupe SEB reduces SharePoint storage by 35% with balesio FILEminimizer SharePoint

Groupe SEB reduces SharePoint file storage by 35% with balesio AG’s onthe-fly SharePoint optimization solution

Groupe SEB, a global leader in small household equipment, faced significant challenges with its growing Microsoft SharePoint storage due to the proliferation of large, unstructured MS Office files from its 300 users. This data growth was increasing management complexity and straining network bandwidth and performance. To address this, they turned to balesio for a solution using the FILEminimizer SharePoint product.

balesio implemented its on-the-fly SharePoint optimization solution, which automatically compresses files as they are uploaded without any required end-user interaction. This transparent integration led to an immediate and substantial 35% reduction in SharePoint storage requirements. The solution also decreased network traffic and improved performance by ensuring only optimized, smaller files were stored and retrieved.
