Case Study: Brunel International N. V. achieves reliable, fast recovery and GDPR‑compliant Office 365 data protection with Veeam

Veeam helps Brunel protect data powering global recruitment

Brunel International N.V., a global staffing and recruitment firm with more than 100 offices and 13,000 staff across 40 countries, depends on Microsoft Dynamics and Office 365 to manage client accounts and placements. When its legacy backup solution became unreliable, the company faced risk to critical operational data and needed dependable backups plus the ability to retain and restore data for seven to ten years to meet GDPR and local retention requirements.

Brunel implemented Veeam Availability Suite and Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 to protect 4.5 TB of data, including 1,500 mailboxes, with on-premises backups and Azure copies for disaster recovery. The solution delivers reliable, easy-to-use backups, minutes‑fast VM and item-level recoveries, and single-item restores, saves 10–15 hours per week in backup management, protects against accidental deletion and threats, and simplifies compliance with GDPR and local data-retention laws.
