Case Study: Oilfield Solutions achieves scalable global collaboration and reduced IT costs with Microsoft Teams

Energy industry service provider extracts maximum value from the cloud

Oilfield Solutions, a medium-sized energy services provider based in Naas, Ireland, needed a scalable, secure way to connect a globally dispersed and frequently fluctuating workforce and to simplify licensing and collaboration. To meet those challenges the company turned to Microsoft Teams and the broader Microsoft Office 365 suite (including SharePoint Online, Dynamics 365, Azure and Skype for Business) to replace aging on‑premises systems and centralize recruiting, onboarding and project collaboration.

Microsoft Teams was rolled out for project administration and real‑time collaboration while SharePoint Online, Dynamics 365 and Azure provided the data backbone, with partner EMIT helping manage licensing. The Microsoft Teams–led solution cut IT support costs to about 20% of their prior budget, saved an estimated USD 100,000 in recruiting costs, halved onboarding time, improved project visibility for faster substitutions, and let OFS rapidly reallocate licenses to match headcount spikes.
