Case Study: Grundfos achieves a connected global workplace and streamlined collaboration with Microsoft Office 365

Building a Connected Workplace With Microsoft Office 365 to Engage Global Customers

Grundfos, a Denmark‑based manufacturer of pumps and HVAC solutions with about 18,652 employees across 83 companies in 56 countries, needed to modernize IT and unify collaboration to better serve global customers and streamline a complex supply chain. The company faced fragmentation from thousands of Lotus Notes databases and numerous third‑party tools, and wanted secure, mobile access and a single enterprise platform to support worldwide communication and compliance.

Grundfos deployed Microsoft Office 365—including Exchange Online, Office 365 ProPlus, SharePoint Online, Skype Meetings, OneDrive for Business, and Yammer—to consolidate tools and enable real‑time collaboration across devices and locations. The result: improved mobility and near‑ubiquitous access to data, a major reduction in legacy systems and third‑party apps, faster IT operations and cost savings, and stronger global customer and supply‑chain engagement through empowered employees.
