Case Study: Grundfos achieves secure global collaboration and faster access to data with Office 365

Global pump manufacturer Grundfos uses Microsoft 365 for improved business practices to help change lives

Grundfos, a Danish global pump manufacturer with about 18,000 employees, needed to deliver fast, secure access to engineering and operational data across 83 subsidiaries, remote field sites, and partner networks. As cloud tools multiplied, employees relied on disparate file‑storage solutions and emailed attachments, creating security risks, redundant data, poor version control, and slower access for teams far from datacenters—hindering collaboration and expanding IT support demands as production became more digitized.

Grundfos standardized on Microsoft 365 E3—using OneDrive for Business, SharePoint Online, Yammer, Windows 10 Enterprise, and Enterprise Mobility + Security—to centralize file storage, enforce security and encryption, enable reliable version control, and support mobile collaboration. The move eliminated many on‑premises servers for thousands of users, simplified sharing with partners, improved document control and data protection, and accelerated collaboration that helped deliver real-world outcomes such as solar‑powered water projects in remote communities.
