Case Study: Grey Owl Engineering achieves efficient data governance and 10-minute file issue resolution with Netwrix Auditor

Grey Owl Engineering Efficiently Governs Hundreds of Terabytes of Data and Resolves File Issues in 10 Minutes

Grey Owl Engineering, a Calgary-based EPCM firm serving the oil & gas industry, stores hundreds of terabytes of maps and engineering drawings that multiple employees must access and edit. This created version conflicts, unauthorized changes and slow, disruptive investigations that risked project delivery and the quality of client services.

Grey Owl deployed Netwrix Auditor for Active Directory, Windows Server and Windows File Servers to track file reads, modifications, moves and deletions and to run pre-built file analysis reports. Investigations that once took hours now take about 10 minutes, while reports uncovered duplicate files, empty folders and excessive permissions—improving data governance, reducing exposure, changing user behavior and increasing IT and business-service efficiency.
