Case Study: Wick Communications achieves increased data security and more than $50K in savings with TechValidate

Wick Communications sees increased security/privacy of data, saves $50K with CrashPlan

Wick Communications, a medium-sized media company, faced repeated endpoint data loss from lost/stolen laptops and drive failures that drained IT resources, reduced employee productivity and confidence, and risked revenue. As part of a broader disaster-recovery and data-governance initiative, they needed a cross-platform backup solution to protect endpoints and reduce recovery burden on IT.

They deployed Code42 CrashPlan as a fully hosted public-cloud service, storing data and encryption keys in the Code42 cloud and justifying the investment by quantifying IT time savings and the cost of lost devices. Since implementation Wick saved between $50,000 and $500,000 on endpoint recovery, increased backup reliability and data privacy, and reduced IT workload—saving roughly 1–10 hours per week.
