Case Study: Major International Mining Company achieves $1.25M in savings on merger, acquisition & divestiture data migrations and permissions management with Metalogix Software

Major International Mining Company - Customer Case Study

Major International Mining Company, a global commodities firm with more than 30,000 users and over 400 TB of accumulated content, faced a complex consolidation challenge after multiple mergers, acquisitions and divestitures. Their lean IT team needed to migrate large volumes of sensitive content and quickly audit and update hundreds of employee permissions; after other tools failed they engaged Avanade and Metalogix Software and adopted Metalogix Content Matrix and ControlPoint to address migrations and permissions management.

Metalogix Software, working with Avanade consultants, migrated more than 20 TB of data to current SharePoint and Office 365 over 15 months (achieving up to 2 GB/hour on‑premises and 1 GB/hour to O365), transitioned 100+ employee permissions rapidly, and enabled out‑of‑hours delta migrations with zero user disruption. The implementation delivered immediate ROI — estimated annual savings of $700,000–$1,250,000 (with $1.25M saved versus alternative approaches), cut permission reporting from weeks to five minutes, and provided reliable ongoing support.
