Case Study: Patagonia improves communications and collaboration with Microsoft Office 365

Patagonia - Customer Case Study

Patagonia, a global outdoor apparel company, faced challenges with an aging on-premises messaging system and a lack of unified communications tools, which delayed global collaboration among its design teams and other employees. Seeking a solution, they turned to Microsoft to evaluate its cloud-based product, Microsoft Office 365.

Microsoft implemented Office 365, which integrated cloud services like Exchange Online and Lync Online with the Office Professional Plus suite. This solution provided real-time communication tools, enabled remote work to support environmental goals, and reduced the IT burden. Microsoft's service delivered measurable results, including expected cost savings of over $300,000 in avoided upgrade costs and $15,000 annually in third-party software, while improving business continuity.
