Case Study: Acies Consulting achieves rapid launch and enhanced data security with Office 365

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

Acies Consulting is a Mumbai-based financial consulting startup of about 40 employees that launched in late 2017. The firm needed an IT environment it could stand up very quickly, protect highly sensitive client financial data under regulatory constraints, support a mobile and geographically distributed workforce, and keep upfront costs low.

Acies deployed Microsoft 365 (Office apps, Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams, Skype for Business, Project Online, Power BI) together with Intune, BitLocker, and Azure AD Basic, and went live in roughly two weeks. The cloud rollout enabled immediate operations with familiar tools, centralized security (MFA, remote wipe, device management), reduced travel and meeting costs, and delivered Power BI dashboards and SharePoint workflows for faster, data-driven project and performance management. Backed by a managed-services partner, the solution proved scalable and allowed Acies to operate like an established firm from day one.
