As teams scaled and volumes of data grew, it created data retention challenges, putting operational continuity and data access at risk.
Mailbox quotas filled rapidly, forcing frequent IT intervention to keep operations running
Ex-employee mailboxes were retained manually, making records incomplete and at risk of loss
Critical emails had no protection from ransomware, accidental deletions, or malicious actions
Successors faced delays in accessing ex-employee communications, slowing continuity and handovers
With no independent copy of email archives, compliance readiness was always in question
Migrated legacy data to a centralized store, eliminating fragmented information record-keeping and making information readily accessible
| What changed on the ground | What it meant for the business |
| Automated archival captured all live and legacy emails, including PSTs and in-place archives
|
Improved productivity, as IT no longer managed quotas or manual backups |
| Continuous archiving created a secure, independent cloud copy of all mailboxes | Reduced risk, with emails safeguarded from accidental loss, ransomware, or malicious actions
|
| Former employee mailboxes preserved centrally in a unified archive
|
Ensured continuity, with records always available during staff transitions |
| Successor access enabled through powerful eDiscovery tools
|
Smoother handovers, with faster discovery and less effort for new staff |
| Automated retention policies controlled mailbox growth in Microsoft 365 | Lower subscription costs, maintaining the basic M365 plan without performance trade-offs
|
These results were made possible by Vaultastic’s secure and auto-scale platform, designed to handle high-volume information archival, helping
create a scalable repository of information records and assets.
