Rackspace accelerates global collaboration and saves $411,000 with Office 365

Rackspace, a managed cloud provider, faced a challenge with its globally dispersed employees using disparate collaboration tools that impeded teamwork. To overcome this, the company worked with vendor Microsoft Corporation to deploy Microsoft Office 365, which replaced approximately 30 different tools and provided a standardized, cloud-based productivity platform.

The solution implemented by Microsoft Corporation included services like OneDrive for Business, SharePoint Online, and Exchange Online, enabling seamless collaboration and file sharing. The results were significant, with Rackspace achieving $411,000 in annual licensing savings for one product alone and improving productivity for its nearly 6,000 employees across its global offices.
