Case Study: Nexio achieves reliable Office 365 backup and extended data retention with Veritas Technologies' SaaS Backup

Technology integrator achieves reliable backup, extended data retention for Office 365 with Veritas SaaS Backup

Nexio, a Johannesburg-based technology systems integrator of about 600 employees, migrated its back-office to Microsoft Office 365 but faced pressing risks: Microsoft’s limited 90-day retention, regulatory requirements (including seven-year financial retention), exposure to ransomware, and local infrastructure issues like rolling power outages and connectivity challenges. The company needed an enterprise-grade, cloud-native data protection solution that could meet compliance, scalability, and resiliency needs without reintroducing on‑premises complexity.

Nexio deployed Veritas SaaS Backup—a cloud-only solution that protects the full Office 365 suite, offers unlimited storage, and was implemented in about a week. Backups run several times daily and enabled immediate recovery of lost SharePoint data; outcomes include a 50% reduction in staff time spent on information management, lower and more predictable TCO, scalable retention to meet compliance, and significantly reduced IT stress.
