Case Study: Seattle Girls' School achieves $500K–$1M in data recovery cost savings with TechValidate

Seattle Girls' School selects CrashPlan, saves $500K in data recovery costs

Seattle Girls’ School, a non‑profit K–12 institution, faced repeated endpoint data loss from lost or stolen laptops, hard‑drive crashes and during OS refreshes/migrations, and needed to meet e‑discovery/legal‑hold and broader disaster‑recovery requirements. Relying on manual backups to USB/external drives, past data loss incidents hurt productivity and confidence in IT and prompted the school to document costs and secure budget for a centralized endpoint backup solution.

The school deployed Code42 CrashPlan as an on‑premises private‑cloud endpoint backup, replacing manual backups; since implementation they report $500,000–$1,000,000 saved in endpoint data‑recovery costs, more reliable and consistent backups, lower costs from data‑loss events, and 1–10 fewer IT hours per week spent on backups, restores and migrations.
