Case Study: Wolters Kluwer boosts endpoint backup reliability and cuts IT restore time with TechValidate (CrashPlan/Code42)

Wolters Kluwer replaces Carbonite with CrashPlan to protect mobile workforce

Wolters Kluwer, a large enterprise in media and entertainment, needed a better way to protect a growing mobile workforce and meet data security/privacy and disaster recovery requirements. Their existing approach—manual USB/external drive backups and Carbonite—left them vulnerable to data loss from lost/stolen laptops and hard drive failures and constrained remote work capabilities.

They replaced those solutions with Code42 CrashPlan deployed as a public cloud (with encryption keys held onsite), which centralized endpoint protection and simplified restores. The switch delivered more reliable and consistent backups, lower endpoint backup management costs, fewer user support tickets and IT restore hours, and improved end-user productivity.
