Case Study: Laing O'Rourke achieves centralized tapeless cloud backup and ransomware protection with Commvault

Laing O'Rourke - Customer Case Study

Laing O’Rourke, a global construction and engineering firm with about 15,000 employees and 50 live UK projects, faced rapidly growing, highly distributed data across 150 locations, heavy reliance on tape, long retention and regulatory pressures (GDPR), and rising ransomware risk—making backup, DR and data governance inefficient and hard to manage centrally.

By deploying the Commvault Data Platform, Laing O’Rourke moved to tapeless, centrally managed backups with offsite storage in Microsoft Azure, endpoint protection, Office 365 data management and automated DR. The result was accelerated cloud and hyper‑converged adoption, a single management console covering data centres, remote sites, cloud and endpoints, near‑unlimited long‑term archives, reduced operational costs and time, improved ransomware and GDPR readiness, and a trusted ongoing partnership for data management.
