Case Study: OdA GS Aargau reduces IT costs by 53% with Microsoft Azure and Office 365 Education

Swiss school builds modern datacenter and reduces IT costs nearly 53 percent

OdA GS Aargau, a vocational training school in Switzerland, faced growing IT demands from its increasing enrollment. Their outdated hardware and off-premises servers were inefficient, and they needed an easy-to-use, cost-effective solution that would allow students to work from anywhere and reduce the burden on their IT staff.

Microsoft, with its partner Trivadis, implemented a solution using the Microsoft Azure cloud platform and Office 365 Education. This modernized the school's datacenter, providing scalable resources and tools for collaboration. The measurable impact was a dramatic 53 percent reduction in annual IT costs, from $107,000 to $44,000, while also strengthening the foundation for teaching with innovative technology.
