Case Study: ABB Group achieves global collaboration and innovation with Microsoft Corporation Office 365

ABB sparking innovation through the collective power of knowledge

ABB Group, a global manufacturing company with more than 10,000 employees across roughly 100 countries, needed a way to keep creativity, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing flowing without technological barriers. To support innovation across its power and automation business, ABB Group chose Microsoft Corporation’s Office 365 suite, including Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive for Business, Skype for Business, and Yammer.

Microsoft Corporation helped ABB Group deploy Office 365 to about 125,000 employees worldwide at a pace of up to 5,000 seats per week. The rollout improved global communication and teamwork, with Yammer, SharePoint Online, and other services enabling faster project setup, easier knowledge sharing, and a more mobile, connected work environment. The result was a stronger culture of collaboration that helped ABB Group accelerate innovation and respond more quickly to business changes.
