Case Study: Westmont College reduces IT cost and complexity with Egnyte cloud file management

Westmont College cuts storage costs by more than 50% with Egnyte

Westmont College, a liberal arts college, faced significant challenges after selecting Box for its cloud-first file storage strategy. Issues included an inability to migrate vast legacy data, poor version control that disrupted collaborative work on critical spreadsheets, storage capacity limits, and user frustration. This prompted a search for a more robust enterprise solution.

The college partnered with Egnyte to implement a custom hybrid cloud file management solution, utilizing Egnyte Storage Sync. This provided seamless access via mapped drives on campus and cloud access remotely, eliminated version-control problems, and integrated with existing Active Directory. The Egnyte solution cut the college's storage costs by more than 50% compared to its legacy system while boosting security and productivity.
