Case Study: City of Sindelfingen achieves leaner file servers and better email communication with balesio FILEminimizer Server

Lean file servers in city administration

The City of Sindelfingen, a municipal government near Stuttgart, Germany, faced exponential storage growth on its central file server and email communication issues caused by large Microsoft Office files. The city's IT administration sought a centralized solution, leading them to evaluate and select FILEminimizer Server from balesio to address these challenges.

The balesio solution provided automatic and scheduled optimization of files directly on the server, reducing Microsoft Office file sizes by an average of 70% while maintaining format and quality. This implementation allowed the city to reclaim existing storage space, flatten its data growth rate, and significantly reduce network traffic and help desk support requests, resulting in a major increase in overall productivity.
