Case Study: Air Products reinforces cloud migration confidence with Microsoft Office 365

Manufacturer Reinforces Decision to Adopt Cloud Services with Data Center Briefing

Air Products, a global manufacturer of gases and chemicals, needed to upgrade its on-premises messaging system and was evaluating a migration to a cloud-based solution. Before entrusting its data to an external vendor, the company required assurance about the security and reliability of the hosting facilities, leading them to seek a data center briefing from Microsoft Corporation.

Microsoft Corporation provided a Data Center Briefing and a Strategy Briefing at its Technology Center, allowing Air Products executives to tour a massive, state-of-the-art data center. This experience demonstrated Microsoft's scale, innovation, and operational integrity, which reassured the customer and directly led to the successful migration of its 22,000 mailboxes to Microsoft Exchange Online. The solution provided Air Products with a highly secure and reliable hosted email system and gave them confidence in Microsoft's long-term cloud strategy.
