Case Study: Pochin achieves seamless, lower-cost email migration with Cloud Technology Solutions and G Suite

Cloud Technology Solutions Helps Pochin Migrate To G Suite (Google Apps)

Pochin, a UK-based construction and property development group, faced a significant challenge when its outdated Novell GroupWise email platform required a costly and complex upgrade to a new operating system. The company sought a more universal and affordable solution, initially considering on-premise Microsoft Exchange before concluding that a cloud-based platform would be more cost-effective and require less internal management. Cloud Technology Solutions (CTS) was recommended to help with this migration.

Cloud Technology Solutions managed the project, using its CloudMigrator tool to seamlessly transfer approximately 150 mailboxes from GroupWise to G Suite. The migration was completed successfully with minimal disruption, and users were given immediate access to their email history. The results for Pochin included a significant reduction in IT management time, increased user satisfaction due to faster email and superior collaboration tools, and access from any internet-enabled device. The company also benefited from a solution that was a fraction of the cost of an on-premise alternative, with no outages since going live.
