Case Study: GA Communication Group saves 26–50 IT hours per week and $50K–$500K in recovery costs with TechValidate

GA Communication Group saves more than 25 IT hours a week with CrashPlan

GA Communication Group (gacomm), a small healthcare firm, faced recurring endpoint data loss that threatened revenue and compliance during laptop loss/theft, hard drive crashes, OS migrations and disk-encryption projects. They also needed a solution to support e-discovery/legal hold, disaster recovery/business continuity and broader data governance—previously relying on manual USB/external-drive backups.

gacomm deployed CrashPlan (a hybrid cloud setup with on‑premises storage and Code42’s public cloud), replacing manual backups and winning budget by demonstrating IT time and cost savings. The move automated legal-hold processes, helped meet HIPAA requirements, saved an estimated $50,000–$500,000 in recovery costs, and reclaimed about 26–50 IT hours per week.
