Case Study: Shambhala Publications achieves over $1M in endpoint data recovery savings with TechValidate (CrashPlan)

Shambhala Publications replaces Atempo with CrashPlan, saves $1M in data recovery costs

Shambhala Publications, a small media company, struggled with endpoint data loss from lost/stolen laptops and hard‑drive failures, which drained IT resources, lowered employee productivity and confidence, and complicated migrations/OS refreshes and disaster‑recovery plans. They needed a reliable, organization‑wide endpoint backup solution to prevent recurring disruptions and manage risk from rogue/shadow IT.

They replaced Atempo with CrashPlan (Code42’s fully hosted public cloud) and won buy‑in by demonstrating cost and time savings. The deployment increased backup reliability and data security, enabled self‑service restores, cut IT backup and migration hours (saving 1–10 hours/week), and produced an estimated $1–5 million reduction in endpoint data‑recovery costs while improving end‑user productivity.
