Case Study: Ambitious about Autism achieves cost-effective, secure, and scalable operations with Microsoft Corporation's Microsoft 365

Ambitious about Autism creates opportunities for people with autism, supported by Microsoft 365

Ambitious about Autism, a UK nonprofit supporting children and young people with autism, needed a more flexible, secure, and scalable IT platform as it grew across multiple sites and served around 400 staff. Its previous system was expensive, fragmented, and slow to manage, making it hard to control access, support users, and handle backup and disaster recovery efficiently. Microsoft Corporation’s Microsoft 365 and Microsoft 365 Business were introduced to help meet those needs.

With Microsoft Corporation’s Microsoft 365, Ambitious about Autism centralized IT management, improved secure file sharing and access to data, and gained built-in compliance and security features to support GDPR readiness. The charity says user onboarding now takes minutes instead of up to five days, saving time and eliminating extra per-user costs, while the new platform has delivered significant financial savings and a more responsive IT service.
