Case Study: Borås Stad achieves 90%+ management time savings and 100 days of added productivity with Rubrik

Borås Stad Realizes 90% Time Savings and 100 Days of Added Productivity with Rubrik

Borås Stad, the municipal government in Borås, Sweden, operates a 45-person IT department supporting 12,000 employees and 110,000 citizens. The city’s legacy backup environment was complex, costly and labor‑intensive—requiring nearly 1,000 hours/year of staff time, failing to handle large VMs, extending backup windows beyond 24 hours, and producing slow, risky restores that threatened critical services.

By deploying Rubrik (with partner Radpoint) and its automated SLA policy engine and end‑to‑end encryption, Borås Stad dramatically simplified data protection. Management time fell by more than 90% (from a full‑time role to about 1 hour/day), freeing roughly 100 days of productivity; restores are now near‑instant with near‑zero RTOs, first full backups completed in ~10 hours, installation was rapid, and support improved significantly.
