Case Study: Unifi achieves secure cloud migration and improved collaboration with CloudSmiths and Google Cloud

Unifi migrates 2TB to Google Cloud and 500 users to Google Workspace with CloudSmiths

Unifi, a leading personal loan provider in Sub-Saharan Africa, faced the challenge of migrating its 2TB on-premise database to the cloud and transitioning 500 users from Microsoft 365 to a new platform. The company partnered with vendor CloudSmiths to achieve a secure migration to Google Cloud and an adoption of Google Workspace.

CloudSmiths executed the solution using tools including CloudSQL, BigQuery, and a third-party migrator. They implemented a secure VPN, split the database for efficient transfer, and provided comprehensive user training. The result was a successful migration that enhanced Unifi's data security, provided robust analytics capabilities with Looker, and streamlined collaboration across its geographically dispersed teams, empowering their growth across Africa.
