Case Study: Preqin achieves control of 9 trillion data points and cuts GDPR response time to days with Egnyte

How Preqin gained control over 9 trillion data points and decreased costs

Preqin, a London‑headquartered leader in alternative‑assets data with nine trillion data points and hundreds of global researchers, was held back by aging on‑premise file servers. Users suffered slow or failed access, VPN interruptions, file corruption, version‑control and duplication problems, and IT struggled to support regional hardware and meet GDPR subject‑access demands.

Preqin deployed Egnyte Connect as a hybrid cloud solution integrated with Active Directory and Teams, rolling the desktop app to 400+ users with targeted training. The platform centralized governance, auditing and versioning, improved collaboration and visibility, enabled retirement of legacy file/SFTP servers, reduced IT support costs, and cut GDPR request turnaround from about three weeks to as little as 2–3 days.
