Using cloud to manage the chaos caused by rapid company growth
31 May 2010
In this case study, you can read about how MiniLiner, an air-cargo firm is managing chaos caused by scaling up and saving up to €50,000 annually by switching to a cloud-based communications solution for its employees.
MiniLiner is an air-cargo firm in Orio al Serio, Italy, whose rapid growth led to a disorganized IT infrastructure that was expensive, difficult to use, and unreliable.
The firm subscribed to Microsoft Online Services to provide employees with real-time communications and fast data access. The IT staff reduced its work and saved €50,000 by eliminating servers. Rapid information access will also help deliver more reliable service.
We will save €50,000 [U.S.$64,000] annually by using Microsoft Online Services. We will also be able to move to less expensive thin-client desktop computers.
