Case Study: Hsin Chong Construction Group reclaims 80,000 hours of productivity and halves email storage with Veritas Technologies

Hsin Chong Construction Group - Customer Case Study

Hsin Chong Construction Group, a major Hong Kong and Macao construction firm with over 2,000 email users, faced rapid email growth that forced strict mailbox quotas (600 MB for most users, 5 GB for executives). Employees were forced to manage PST files to stay under limits, causing access issues for mobile and remote workers and generating heavy help-desk and eDiscovery burdens, while the IT team needed reliable journaling and deduplication for compliance.

Working with Veritas and partner The I‑Consulting Group, Hsin Chong deployed Veritas Enterprise Vault to archive, deduplicate and journal email and to migrate PSTs into a searchable archive. Results included a 50% reduction in email storage (2 TB → 1 TB), backup time cut in half, mailbox quotas raised to 1 GB, PST-related help-desk calls eliminated (freeing ~5 hours/week), employees saving up to 10 minutes/day (≈80,000 hours/year reclaimed), eDiscovery time reduced from ~10 staff-days/month to about 30 minutes, HK$400,000 cost avoidance over two years, and full payback in under three years.
