Case Study: AECOM achieves robust Salesforce data protection and faster development with OwnBackup

AECOM Protects Complex Salesforce Environments and Accelerates Development with OwnBackup

AECOM, a global civil engineering firm with roughly 87,000 employees and 70,000 Salesforce users, stores millions of operational and sales records in highly integrated and complex Salesforce environments. Reliant on slow weekly CSV exports and manual sandbox seeding, the company faced scalability limits, lengthy development cycles, and significant risk from user-inflicted data loss, corruption, and complex data-relationship challenges.

Implementing OwnBackup gave AECOM automated daily backups, Smart Alerts, granular data and metadata restores (preserving relationships), and sandbox seeding for realistic test datasets. The solution improved RPOs, enabled rapid recovery during a permissions/metadata incident, accelerated development by enabling seeded developer sandboxes, and strengthened overall data protection and business continuity.
