Case Study: Carlsberg Group achieves global collaboration and supply chain efficiency with Microsoft Office 365

Brewing company uses Office 365 for global collaboration and business efficiency

The Carlsberg Group, a global brewing company, faced a significant challenge in fostering collaboration among its 40,000 employees across 27 countries. Its rapid growth had resulted in over 30 disparate regional IT environments, creating barriers to communication and efficient teamwork. To address this without building costly new infrastructure, Carlsberg turned to Microsoft Corporation and its cloud-based productivity suite, Office 365.

Microsoft's solution provided a unified platform including Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, and Skype for Business, enabling seamless global collaboration, secure mobile access, and more efficient processes. The results were substantial; Carlsberg saved over €2 million in avoided infrastructure upgrade costs, expedited major projects like its Global Supply Company, and significantly improved sales and internal team productivity. Microsoft's tools helped Carlsberg achieve a single, agile, and scalable operational model.
