Case Study: Discovery Communications achieves greater productivity, collaboration, and security with Microsoft Corporation Office 365

Discovery Communications embraces Office 365 to foster creative culture of innovation

Discovery Communications, a global entertainment company with more than 7,000 employees, was looking to modernize its technology environment while supporting collaboration, mobility, and security across a worldwide workforce. By moving from on-premises systems to Microsoft Office 365, Discovery Communications aimed to reduce the burden of managing non-differentiated IT services and give employees always-available tools that would help maintain a creative, open work culture.

Microsoft Corporation implemented Office 365 and the E5 suite, including Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, Yammer, Advanced Threat Protection, Advanced eDiscovery, Power BI, and Skype for Business Cloud PBX. The result was stronger security, faster and more accurate legal search and discovery, better data sharing and analytics, and more flexible telephony options across multiple countries—improving collaboration, efficiency, and cost savings.
