Case Study: Escorts Limited achieves improved employee satisfaction and reduced TCO with Zimbra Collaboration

Escorts Limited Migrates from Microsoft Exchange to Zimbra

Escorts Group, a leading Indian engineering conglomerate, faced a fragmented legacy email environment (Exchange and Postfix) that left users and IT frustrated and in need of a modern, cloud-based collaboration platform. Management demanded a full-featured solution compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux and popular clients (Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail), while IT required minimal disruption, multi-tenancy, open standards and lower operating costs.

After evaluating Google Apps, Office 365 and Zimbra, Escorts selected cloud-based Zimbra for its economics and rich features. With Logix assisting, the migration of 3,000 users—22 million messages and 6 TB of data—completed in three weeks with a one-day cutover and no downtime. The deployment delivered real-time Outlook sync, web and mobile access, shared calendaring and archiving, reduced administration costs and higher employee satisfaction, while providing high availability, redundancy and simplified compliance.
