Case Study: Hakkasan Group achieves $3.4M ROI and major productivity & security gains with Egnyte

How Hakkasan Group saved $3.4M over 3 years with Egnyte

Hakkasan Group, a global hospitality company operating 60+ restaurants and nightlife venues, was struggling with rapidly growing files, a dispersed workforce (about half remote), and widespread use of shadow IT. Reliance on Windows file servers and ad hoc personal cloud sharing created productivity, version‑control, security and compliance risks — including GDPR concerns — and made centralized access and disaster recovery difficult.

Hakkasan implemented Egnyte in a hybrid deployment to replace legacy file servers, using smart caching for fast on‑site access and cloud access for remote users, while automating backup, archiving and file synchronization and enforcing centralized governance. The rollout supported 1,200 daily users, enabled quick remote onboarding, consolidated data centers, and delivered $2.4M in productivity and security gains and $3.4M total ROI over three years, while simplifying disaster recovery and improving compliance.
