Case Study: Hermanson Company achieves stronger security and IT efficiency with Microsoft Corporation cloud solutions

Leading mechanical contractor builds better IT with Microsoft cloud solutions to focus on customers

Hermanson Company, a medium-sized mechanical contractor serving the Pacific Northwest, struggled with the limits and security risks of its on-premises IT environment as it grew and relied heavily on mobile, email-driven collaboration. To better protect data and support remote work, Hermanson turned to Microsoft Corporation, using Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 E5 along with services like Azure Active Directory Premium, Microsoft Intune, Microsoft Defender ATP, and Cloud App Security.

Microsoft Corporation helped Hermanson migrate its workloads to Azure and deploy a tightly integrated cloud security stack with built-in automation and intelligence. The result was stronger protection for identities, devices, data, and servers, plus a major IT productivity boost: Hermanson says Microsoft 365 automation flipped the “80/20 rule,” freeing its team to spend about 80% of its time on strategic business work instead of maintenance and security, while improving flexibility, reliability, and threat remediation.
