Case Study: innogy achieves cost savings and a flexible new work style with Microsoft Office 365

Innogy’s story from better email to a new work style

innogy, a leading European energy company, faced the challenge of supporting business performance without increasing IT maintenance demands or additional expenditure. To achieve this, the company, in cooperation with Microsoft, decided to migrate its email service to the cloud, selecting Microsoft Office 365 after reviewing several IT services.

Microsoft implemented Office 365, which cut email operational costs in half and provided a secure, mobile platform. This migration was the catalyst for a broader "New Style" initiative, transforming innogy's work culture by enabling flexible work contracts and modern collaboration tools like Skype for Business and Yammer. The results included millions of euros in savings, a 50% reduction in email costs, increased employee satisfaction, and a more attractive employer brand, with 19,000 monthly Skype calls demonstrating the new tools' adoption.
