Case Study: BEAR Scotland achieves fast, low‑effort 2TB archive migration and major cost and time savings with Veritas Technologies' Enterprise Vault.cloud

Fast and Easy Archive Migration to the Cloud with Veritas

BEAR Scotland Ltd., which maintains Scotland’s 3,128 km trunk road network, supports about 300 email users with just a two‑person IT team. Heavy reliance on email, widespread PST files, and roughly 90 Freedom of Information requests a year made archive management and eDiscovery time‑consuming and risky for the small IT staff.

BEAR migrated a nearly 2 TB on‑premises archive to Veritas Enterprise Vault.cloud using the complimentary Archive Migrator, completing the move in two weeks with under an hour of staff time. Combined with Veritas/Symantec Email and Web Security.cloud services, the move avoided about GB£20,000 in hardware/software costs, reclaimed thousands of productivity hours (about 3,000 from reduced spam alone), sped eDiscovery from hours to minutes, and freed IT to work on higher‑value projects.
