Case Study: The Walsh Group improves mobile access and cuts IT costs with Microsoft Office 365

Construction Firm Improves Anywhere Access, Reduces IT Costs with Cloud Solution

The Walsh Group, a major construction firm, struggled to support its dispersed workforce with timely software upgrades and mobile access while managing a lean IT team. They turned to Microsoft and its Office 365 suite to find a more efficient solution that could provide essential tools to employees across numerous job sites.

By implementing Microsoft Office 365, including Exchange Online, Lync Online, and Office 365 ProPlus, the company provided its mobile workforce with anywhere access to email and documents. This solution from Microsoft enabled significant cost avoidance of over $3 million annually from reduced hardware and third-party tool needs, drastically simplified future IT deployments, and allowed the IT staff to focus on more strategic initiatives.
