Case Study: Isis Innovation achieves fast, secure cross-office file sharing with Egnyte

Isis Innovation - Customer Case Study

Isis Innovation, a University of Oxford subsidiary that commercializes university IP, manages hundreds of patent families and license agreements and has helped form dozens of spin‑off companies. Its teams split between Oxford and a Hong Kong satellite — with many staff often remote or onsite with clients — and were hindered by a slow, VPN‑dependent Citrix setup that made secure file access and sharing cumbersome.

Isis deployed Egnyte as an Enterprise Local Cloud VM in Oxford and an Office Local Cloud on a NETGEAR NAS in Hong Kong, with bidirectional sync to the cloud. The setup delivered fast local access, granular security and compliance controls, quick rollout in days, and measurable time and cost savings as employees gained reliable anytime, anywhere access to up‑to‑date files.
