Case Study: Wunderman Thompson achieves modern workplace collaboration and secure global teamwork with Microsoft 365

Wunderman Thompson launches new business with modern workplace and creative collaboration using Microsoft 365

Wunderman Thompson, a large global advertising agency formed from the merger of Wunderman and J. Walter Thompson, faced the significant challenge of integrating 25,000 employees across 200 offices into a single, cohesive organization. Their goal was to foster creativity and collaboration while navigating the complexities of a merger and adapting to a rapidly changing digital landscape. To achieve this, they partnered with Microsoft Corporation to deploy Microsoft 365.

The solution from Microsoft utilized a suite of products including Microsoft Teams, Power BI, and Azure Information Protection to create a modern, agile workplace. This implementation broke down organizational silos, facilitated global teamwork, and ensured compliance with international data regulations. As a result, Wunderman Thompson successfully unified its workforce, enabling rapid adoption of new collaborative tools and mitigating merger upheaval, all within just six months of deployment.
