Case Study: Viborg Municipality secures fast Microsoft 365 backup and restore with Keepit

How Keepit helped the Viborg Kommune into the Cloud Era

Viborg Municipality, a public organization serving over 97,000 inhabitants with 7,000 full-time employees, moved to Microsoft 365 to modernize its workplace but found that Microsoft’s native recovery options were not enough. The IT team needed a faster, more reliable way to protect data and restore lost files, folders, and user accounts after incidents such as accidental deletions and the loss of two years of teaching materials.

To close this gap, Viborg Municipality chose Keepit in 2018 for cloud-to-cloud backup and restore for Microsoft 365, including Exchange, OneDrive, Teams, and SharePoint. With Keepit, the municipality gained quick, flexible restores and reduced dependence on slow, manual recovery processes, while avoiding network strain from backup transfers. Keepit gave Viborg Municipality the ability to recover data more easily and confidently across its 4,500 administration users and 180 locations.
