Case Study: Acies Consulting achieves rapid launch and enhanced data security with Microsoft Teams

Consulting startup implements cloud-based solution at light speed, adds enhanced data security

Acies Consulting, a Mumbai-based financial consulting startup, needed an IT solution that could be deployed rapidly, scale with minimal upfront cost, and provide strong data security for highly regulated client information. The firm chose Microsoft Teams as part of the broader Microsoft 365 suite (Exchange Online, OneDrive for Business, SharePoint Online, Power BI Pro, Skype for Business, Microsoft 365 Business) to enable familiar productivity tools, mobility, and enhanced security controls.

Using Microsoft Teams and Microsoft 365, Acies deployed cloud services with BitLocker, Microsoft Intune, and Azure AD multi-factor authentication to protect devices and data, plus SharePoint and Power BI for workflows and dashboards. The solution was live in roughly two weeks, cut online meeting costs to zero via Skype for Business, enabled immediate operations and rapid scaling to 40+ employees, and delivered faster, data-driven decision making through Power BI—demonstrating measurable speed, cost savings, and stronger security under the Microsoft Teams-led implementation.
