Case Study: Hot Docs achieves reliable collaboration and peace of mind with Microsoft Corporation Office 365

Office 365 keeps North America’s largest documentary film festival connected

Hot Docs, North America’s largest documentary film festival, was struggling with unreliable email after a major server crash caused a 4-day outage. The nonprofit needed a more dependable way to support communication and collaboration, and it turned to Microsoft Corporation for help, using Office 365 along with Lync and Exchange.

Microsoft Corporation, working with Jolera, migrated Hot Docs to Office 365 in just 3 months. The move improved file sharing, collaboration, and conferencing, while giving the team peace of mind; with cloud tools like OneDrive, everyone could work from the same documents, helping boost productivity and keeping the organization connected.
