Case Study: The Global Fund streamlines cloud collaboration and improves remote access with Microsoft Office 365

Global Fund streamlines move to the cloud, modernizes for the fight against disease

The Global Fund, a Switzerland-based NGO fighting AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria, faced challenges with unreliable remote network access for its global employees and partners. To modernize its infrastructure, it chose to migrate to Microsoft Office 365 but encountered technical difficulties during the initial onboarding process.

Engaging the Microsoft FastTrack Center, the Global Fund received expert assistance to assess and remediate its infrastructure, leading to a rapid and successful migration of all mailboxes in a single day. The solution provided by Microsoft gave the organization reliable cloud-based access to email and documents via Exchange Online and SharePoint Online, saving time and avoiding potential pitfalls. This allowed the Global Fund to reduce IT maintenance efforts, improve security, and refocus its resources on its core mission.
