Case Study: Quebecor World Inc. achieves 99% reduction in monitoring time with Veeam Backup & Replication

Veeam Backup & Replication Reduces Monitoring Time by 99 Percent at Quebecor World Inc

Quebecor World Inc., a Montreal‑headquartered global leader in printing and marketing solutions with roughly 23,000 employees and operations across the Americas, faced a backup challenge as it virtualized its environment. Its legacy Windows NT systems weren’t supported by the corporate backup tool, which also lacked enterprise scalability and flexibility, leaving the company needing a reliable VMware recovery solution that saved storage and reduced operational overhead.

Quebecor World deployed Veeam Backup & Replication, a low‑maintenance solution that supports its virtual environment of ~400 VMs. The change cut monitoring time by 99% (from 20–30 hours/week to under one hour/month), reduced disk usage by 96% (keeping 50 days of backups on 319 GB versus one day on 148 GB previously), and eliminated about $120,000/year in tape purchasing and transport costs.
