Case Study: Agri Beef Co. achieves greater efficiency and mobility with Microsoft Corporation Office 365

Beef company drives efficiency across supply chain using cloud-based services

Agri Beef Co., a 1,200-employee beef company that manages operations from ranch to head office, needed to reduce IT costs and simplify communication across a complex supply chain. The company had been running on-premises email and collaboration systems and wanted a better way for staff in the field and office to share information and stay connected. Microsoft Corporation’s Office 365 was used as the cloud platform for its transition.

Microsoft Corporation helped Agri Beef Co. migrate 300 users to Office 365, starting with Exchange Online and later expanding use of cloud collaboration and mobile productivity tools such as OneDrive for Business, SharePoint Online, and Skype for Business Online. The result was 100 percent email uptime, avoided future replacement costs of $30,000 for two Exchange servers, and easier access to files and communication from mobile devices, improving efficiency across the company.
