Case Study: AvanStrate achieves higher employee productivity and major cost savings with Microsoft Teams

AvanStrate - Customer Case Study

AvanStrate, a Korea‑based manufacturer of high value‑added LCD glass substrates with about 100 employees, was struggling with fragmented IT systems across branches, organizational silos, and inflexible user management that hampered collaboration and drove up costs. To unify communication, improve user experience and reduce IT overhead, the company adopted Microsoft Office 365 and rolled out Microsoft Teams as its central collaboration platform.

Microsoft Teams delivered a single, integrated workspace—connected to Outlook, OneDrive, SharePoint and Azure—where departmental channels, file history and threaded conversations streamlined teamwork and mobile response. The Office 365/Microsoft Teams deployment was completed in about 2.5 months, now covers users across Japan, Taiwan and Korea, and helped AvanStrate eliminate backup/remote-restore tasks and cut cloud maintenance and operating costs by over 80%, while boosting productivity with more than 50 active Teams channels.
