Case Study: REX Features achieves cost-saving productivity and a smooth Office 365 migration with Cobweb

Cobweb Solutions smoothly migrates REX Features to a modern business productivity solution

REX Features is a long-established British photographic press agency with offices in London and Los Angeles and a vast archive of some 15 million images. The company was still running Office 2003 and needed a cost-effective upgrade while its in‑house IT team stayed focused on developing bespoke systems rather than email hosting and migrations.

Cobweb migrated REX to Office 365, consolidating email and Office tools and staging the move in small batches to avoid disruption (more than 60 users and 80+ mailboxes migrated). The result was smoother operations, lower costs and higher productivity — staff can open attachments without conversion, benefit from improved Outlook Web Access and SharePoint, and report a “huge difference…in terms of productivity as well as cost.”
