Case Study: Mediterranean Shipping Company achieves 45% cost reduction and global standardization with Office 365

Mediterranean Shipping Company standardizes with Office 365, reduces costs by 45 percent

Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) is a Geneva-based global container shipping leader with about 60,000 employees, 460 ships and services across 200 routes and 315 ports. Facing a patchwork of productivity tools and roughly 65 separate email environments across 148 countries, MSC needed a standardized, mobile-friendly collaboration platform to improve real-time communication, streamline operations, strengthen security and cut IT complexity and costs.

MSC standardized on Microsoft Office 365 (including Exchange Online, OneDrive, Skype for Business, Power BI, Planner and Office 365 ProPlus), engaged Microsoft Consulting Services and adopted Enterprise Mobility/Intune and Surface devices. The rollout consolidated email and collaboration, removed third-party solutions, reduced workplace-solution costs by 45%, saved about 45 FTEs in MSC US, and delivered better mobility, real-time teamwork, security and business continuity.
