Case Study: Bio‑Techne achieves streamlined acquisitions and secure centralized file sharing with Egnyte

How Bio-Techne reduced file infrastructure costs during acquisitions

Bio‑Techne, a Minneapolis‑based life sciences company with 2,000+ global employees and 3–5 acquisitions per year, faced a growing problem: each acquisition brought isolated file servers and consumer-grade tools like Dropbox that lacked enterprise controls, device‑safe access, and regulatory compliance (FDA, HIPAA, GDPR, SOX). The company needed a secure, scalable single source of truth for files that could be adopted quickly across new businesses without gaps in security or productivity.

Egnyte implemented a hybrid cloud file‑services platform that unified Bio‑Techne’s data and processes, enabling data rooms, granular permissions, remote access to large files without VPNs, and integrations with Salesforce, Smartsheet, and Office 365. The rollout standardized onboarding (tenants set up in minutes), consolidated infrastructure, improved collaboration and compliance, and drove measurable cost savings—about $60,000 annually on acquired companies’ infrastructure alone—while securing IP and streamlining M&A operations.
