Case Study: OTP banka achieves secure Microsoft 365 data resilience with Veeam

OTP banka trusts Veeam to safeguard its Microsoft 365 data

OTP banka, one of Serbia’s leading banking providers and part of OTP Group, needed a more cost-effective way to protect its growing Microsoft email environment as it moved from on-premises Exchange to Microsoft 365. Its legacy backup approach was becoming complex and expensive, while strict regulatory retention requirements and ransomware risks made Microsoft 365’s native protection insufficient. OTP banka chose Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 to safeguard Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint Online, and OneDrive data.

Veeam implemented a cloud-native SaaS backup solution with direct-to-cloud protection and immutable storage, allowing OTP banka to keep Microsoft 365 data for more than 10 years while meeting compliance needs. The bank reported that onboarding took less than a day, and the results included unlimited storage, stronger ransomware resilience, a 40% reduction in RTO, and a 20% reduction in RPO.
