Case Study: Grundfos builds a connected global workplace with Microsoft Office 365

Building a connected workplace with Microsoft Office 365 to engage global customers

Grundfos, a global pump manufacturer based in Denmark, sought to modernize its operations and improve collaboration across its 18,652 employees in 56 countries. The challenge was to replace a legacy Lotus Notes system and numerous third-party tools with a unified, enterprise-ready platform to better engage its global workforce and customers. To address this, the company partnered with Microsoft Corporation to implement Microsoft Office 365.

Microsoft provided a comprehensive cloud productivity solution including Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, Skype for Business, and Yammer. This implementation streamlined IT by replacing three-quarters of the company's third-party collaboration tools and thousands of Lotus Notes databases, resulting in significant simplification and cost savings. The solution empowered employees with seamless mobility and real-time collaboration, enabling a more connected global supply chain and strengthening customer relationships through improved worldwide service.
