Case Study: Green-dot Cyprus cuts hardware and operational costs by up to 80%, boosts productivity and secures customer data with Microsoft Azure

Green-dot reduces costs and increases productivity, while at the same time ensuring Security with Office365 and Windows Azure

Green-dot Cyprus, which manages packaging waste and coordinates recycling programs with local authorities, faced an aging and fragmented IT environment: Windows Server/Exchange 2003, obsolete ERP hardware, limited external access and concerns about securing confidential customer information. Their primary needs were a secure email and document-management solution, a reliable platform to host the ERP, and device management.

The company implemented Office 365 (Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, Skype for Business and OneDrive) and moved core services to Windows Azure for secure hosting, backup, recovery and high availability. The deployment cut hardware requirements by up to 80%, improved email availability and collaboration, streamlined document storage and external access, and strengthened overall security — with the organization now evaluating additional Office 365 offerings.
