Saved up to 50% of IT Costs thanks to Cloud Transformation and Introduction of Office 365
Founded in 1898, FC Thun is the largest sports club in the Bernese Oberland. In 2002, FC Thun succeeded in advancing to the highest division, the Raiffeisen Super League. There, FC Thun surprises with its constant performances and becomes an integral part of the league. Since 2011, FC Thun has been playing in the very modern Stockhorn Arena, which can seat up to 10‘000 visitors.
Initial Situation
The local server and client IT infrastructure had reached the end of its life cycle. The decision was made to either continue with the existing on-premises technology (local server infrastructure) or to deploy new Microsoft cloud technologies and thus take a big step towards a modern way of working. The goal was to find a flexible, scalable and cost-effective solution that would meet the requirements of a modern workplace including teamwork.
Solution
At FC Thun AG, all computers were renewed and migrated to Windows 10. The entire Office 365 platform was used, as well as Skype, SharePoint, Planner and other functions. The end-user devices are managed and administered with Microsoft Windows Intune, which ensures the security of the entire working environment.
FC Thun AG benefits from various services from Microsoft Office 365:
- 100 GB mailbox per user
- unlimited mail archive
- access to all functions from all possible mobile devices
Thanks to the solution, the acquisition and maintenance of local IT systems can be dispensed with in the future, thus eliminating the need for cost-intensive hardware replacements.
Benefits
- Cost savings: The implemented cloud transformation can save up to 50% of annual IT costs.
- Simplified collaboration through modern tools.
- Scalable and predictable costs: IT support is fully provided by isolutions and is included in the package price per user per month. This leads to scalable and predictable IT costs per month.
- Location-independent work, such as home office, is made possible.
