Case Study: Hôpital Montfort reduces IT costs and boosts productivity with Microsoft Office 365

Hospital Uses Cloud Services to Reduce IT Costs, Boost Productivity, Promote Security

Hôpital Montfort, a Canadian healthcare provider, needed to upgrade its outdated and unstable Novell email infrastructure. The hospital sought a solution that would offer labor and cost savings through the cloud but had significant concerns regarding data security and reliability for its 1,800 employees. To address this challenge, the hospital chose Microsoft and implemented its Microsoft Office 365 cloud service.

By adopting Microsoft Office 365, which includes Exchange Online, Lync Online, and SharePoint Online, Hôpital Montfort gained robust data protection and effectively uninterrupted service. The solution from Microsoft resulted in IT costs for these services being reduced by 50 percent annually. A systems analyst who previously spent 75 percent of his time on email maintenance was freed for critical projects, and the highly reliable platform led to a fraction of the previous email-related service calls.
