Case Study: Hachiko achieves professional-level collaboration and mobility with Office 365

Marketing Start-up Powers Professional-level Collaboration with Cloud Office

Hachiko is a three-person marketing start-up in Sydney that designs loyalty, rewards and incentive programs for IT-sector clients. To win and work effectively with high-profile multinational customers, CEO Patrina Kerr needed professional initial communications, an intranet for document collaboration, reliable video meetings with recording, mobile access to email and calendars, and a solution with low up-front cost and easy scalability.

Hachiko subscribed to Microsoft Office 365 through Telstra, gaining Office Professional, SharePoint, Outlook and Lync (desktop videoconferencing/IM) without large capital outlay. The subscription model spread costs into a monthly fee, freed cash for other priorities, and delivered exceptional mobility, professional communication tools and improved collaboration — including conduct, recording and sharing of desktop video conferences.
