Why now?

As teams scaled and volumes of data grew, it created data retention challenges, putting operational continuity and data access at risk.

The difference vaultastic made

Before Vaultastic

  • Email and file data stored only within M365, with no secondary backup
  • Legacy and ex-user data manually exported and stored in local or shared drives
  • Data retrieval required IT intervention and manual compilation from multiple systems
  • Backups tied to primary infrastructure, increasing risk
  • High storage costs from inefficient retention

After Vaultastic

  • Automated backup to an independent, secure cloud archive
  • Historical and inactive user data archived in a searchable, policy-driven retention store
  • Self-service discovery through role-based access
  • Independent data archival with improved resilience and data durability
  • Over 47% cost savings with tiered storage architecture

Lack of centralized oversight was exposing the business to risk

Without a central system, it was hard to locate, protect, and trust business data

The business needed a more secure and sustainable way to retain growing volumes of critical information

Disconnected systems made it difficult to access the right information at the right time

A patchwork of backup methods increased pressure on IT and reduced efficiency

Even when data was stored, it wasn’t easy to search, extract, or reuse

Behind the results: how targeted implementation drove change

With Vaultastic’s eDiscovery suite, M365 integration, and migration toolkit, the manufacturer achieved seamless archiving, allowing teams to continue their work uninterrupted.
