Case Study: Composites One achieves greater mobility and cost savings with Cloud Sherpas and Google Apps

Composites One Migrates Novell Groupwise To Google Apps And Saves

Composites One, a leading distributor of composites materials, faced significant challenges with its outdated and costly Novell GroupWise email system. The decentralized infrastructure required imminent major upgrades across its 32 locations, demanding substantial time and financial investment from its IT department. Seeking a solution with improved functionality, mobility, and major cost savings, Director of IT Hal Greene engaged Cloud Sherpas to explore a migration to Google Apps.

Cloud Sherpas implemented the migration using the Cloud Google Migrator tool and provided essential admin and end-user training. They successfully completed a pilot phase within two months and managed a seamless co-existence system during the incremental rollout. The project successfully met all of Composites One's objectives, granting the company improved platform functionality, mobile access, and significant cost savings. The Cloud Sherpas team was praised for their knowledgeable and impressive support throughout the entire process.
