Case Study: Wohlsen Construction achieves mobile-first collaboration and $40,000 annual travel savings with Office 365

Construction firm builds on success by going mobile-first with Microsoft technologies

Wohlsen Construction, a 350‑employee general contractor with seven offices across five states, needed to close a long-standing gap between office staff and field teams and replace its aging Lotus Notes infrastructure. The firm wanted a mobility‑first strategy so superintendents and project teams could access plans, collaborate, and make decisions from job sites without costly travel or delays.

Wohlsen deployed Microsoft Enterprise Cloud Suite and Office 365 (Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, OneDrive, Skype for Business, OneNote, Office ProPlus), Surface devices, and Intune for management. The result: faster on‑site issue resolution, streamlined eDiscovery and archiving, reduced IT overhead, and better collaboration—saving about $40,000 and 1,700 travel hours annually—while enabling rapid growth, safer training, and more scalable operations.
