Case Study: Qatar Engineering & Construction Company achieves reliable Microsoft 365 backup and fast ransomware recovery with Veritas Technologies' Alta SaaS Protection

Protecting Business-Critical Microsoft 365 Data

Qatar Engineering & Construction Company (Qcon), a leading EPC and maintenance contractor with about 5,000 full‑time staff (and up to 5,000 temporary workers at peak), moved core communication and collaboration workloads to Microsoft 365 but found the platform didn’t meet its requirements for long‑term archiving and ransomware‑ready data protection for Outlook, Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint. With frequent staffing changes and high email volumes containing critical contracts and blueprints, Qcon needed a reliable, easy‑to‑manage backup strategy that wouldn’t burden its lean IT team or incur prohibitive on‑premises storage costs.

Qcon chose Veritas Alta SaaS Protection for cloud‑native, unlimited backup and fast, flexible restores—granular, group, or bulk—to original or alternate locations. The SOC 2–compliant, encrypted solution delivered high performance and low TCO, enabled weekly restores in real operations, increased confidence in ransomware recovery, and simplified management; Qcon now plans to expand protection as it migrates additional workloads like SharePoint.
