Case Study: Cushman & Wakefield achieves global collaboration and faster growth with Microsoft Corporation Office 365

New opportunities for real estate on a global scale, supported by Office 365

Cushman & Wakefield, a global real estate services firm with more than 400 offices in 60 countries, needed a scalable way to integrate acquisitions, onboard employees quickly, and improve cross-regional collaboration. Microsoft Corporation’s Office 365 suite, including Exchange Online, Office 365 ProPlus, Skype for Business, and Yammer, was chosen to support the company’s rapid growth and mobile workforce.

Microsoft Corporation implemented Office 365 as a unified platform for email, intranet, collaboration, telephony, and social knowledge sharing. The results included faster merger integration, with new companies brought together about 30% more quickly, and an estimated annual savings of more than $1 million in telephony costs. More than 13,000 employees now use Yammer, helping improve communication and cross-selling across regions.
