Case Study: VHB achieves streamlined Office 365 email archiving—83% less admin time and 10x faster eDiscovery with Veritas Technologies (Enterprise Vault.cloud)

Maximizing Return on Investment in Microsoft Office 365® with Veritas™ Enterprise Vault.cloud

VHB is a 1,000‑employee engineering, planning, design, and environmental services firm with 22 locations that relies heavily on email for project coordination. Facing a growing workforce and more remote access needs, its small IT team was burdened by a flaky on‑premises archiving system (EMC Legato) that required frequent maintenance and made eDiscovery slow and cumbersome. VHB needed a simpler archiving solution that would scale with its move to Microsoft Office 365, increase storage and journaling capabilities, and speed legal searches.

VHB deployed Veritas Enterprise Vault.cloud (with Discovery.cloud) to augment Office 365. The cloud solution provided full journaling, seamless access without VPN, and a collaborative eDiscovery workflow—cutting archive administration time by 83% (from ~6 hours to ~1 hour per week) and delivering up to 10× faster eDiscovery searches (about 30 minutes to ~3 minutes). The change improved remote access, ensured more complete archives, and freed IT to pursue other cost‑saving projects.
