Case Study: Florida State University strengthens Salesforce disaster recovery and sandbox seeding with Own

Florida State University protects its Salesforce platform implementation with Own

Florida State University (FSU) faced significant challenges in protecting its substantial investment in its Salesforce platform, with a low tolerance for data loss and a previous backup method that was time-consuming and risky. To address these issues and meet departmental recovery objectives, the university turned to Own Company for its Backup and Recover and Data Mask & Seed solutions.

By implementing Own, FSU's team gained the ability to easily back up and restore both data and metadata, drastically reducing their recovery time from days to just under eight hours. Furthermore, Own Accelerate enabled them to securely seed sandboxes with anonymized, production-like data, which sped up development, protected student privacy, and empowered other departments to build their own applications, establishing a true Center of Excellence.
