Case Study: Scrivens saves time and money with Refractiv and Google Workspace

A Move to Gmail Improves Flexibility and Saves the Eye care Experts Time and Money

Scrivens, an eyecare provider with over 75 years of experience and more than 170 branches nationwide, was facing cost, flexibility, and productivity problems with its email infrastructure. Its old email system had become complex and cumbersome, and the company was also planning to replace Exchange and VPop while moving some in-house Microsoft Office applications to the cloud.

Refractiv helped Scrivens move to Google Workspace with Gmail through a managed pilot and a full migration of all 360 email users. The change reduced licence costs, cut the number of servers, improved flexibility for mobile staff, and enabled some meetings to move to Google Meet, saving travel time and expenses; it also reduced IT workload and supported the company’s move toward a virtualised platform.
