Case Study: Plante Moran achieves faster collaboration and lower costs with Microsoft 365

Plante Moran - Customer Case Study

Plante Moran, a major accounting and business advisory firm, faced the challenge of modernizing its aging on-premises intranet and extranet. Its existing systems were inflexible, difficult to access remotely, and did not support the firm's mobile workforce or ambitious growth strategy. To enable a world-class digital collaboration environment, Plante Moran turned to Microsoft Corporation and its Microsoft 365 Enterprise suite, which includes Office 365, to provide a scalable and secure cloud-based platform.

By implementing a solution built on Microsoft's SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business, and Yammer, the firm created new intranet (KnowledgeShare) and extranet (Collaboration Center) environments. This provided staff and clients with mobile-friendly, social media-style tools for collaboration and file sharing. The results were significant: intranet usage doubled, the time to find content and experts was cut in half, and the firm achieved $600,000 in annual cost savings. Microsoft's cloud-based solution provided Plante Moran with a secure, transformative platform that became a competitive differentiator.
