Vaultastic transformed the operations from a fragmented offline system to a secure, single source of truth with role-based access, thereby strengthening compliance readiness.

About the Company

Location: N/A
Industry: Manufacturing
Users: 1,500+
Data volume: 5+ TB
Operations: Manufactures and supplies steel and engineering products for industrial and global markets
Existing systems: Microsoft 365

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

  • Mailboxes swelled to 40–50 GB, straining Microsoft 365 storage and slowing performance
  • Accidental deletions and mailbox clean-ups caused permanent loss of critical records
  • Fragmented and multiple sources of truth created compliance gaps and weakened audit confidence
  • IT teams were consumed with constant recovery requests, creating inefficiency and stress while pulling focus away from high-priority tasks

After Vaultastic

  • Mailbox bloat was eliminated, reducing IT overhead and keeping manufacturing workflows uninterrupted
  • Every message was preserved in a tamper-proof archive, ensuring continuity of manufacturing records
  • Centralized, regulator-ready archive created a single source of truth, strengthening compliance confidence across manufacturing units.
  • Self-service, role-based access empowered employees to retrieve records securely, reducing IT load and improving continuity in core operations

Lack of centralized oversight was exposing the business to risk

Risk of accidental data loss with no independent protection mechanism

Compliance risks grew due to scattered, unsecured mail stores

Slow and fragmented retrieval reduced visibility into historical communication

Growing mailboxes drove up storage and management challenges

IT effort drained by repetitive recovery and discovery requests

Behind the results: How targeted implementation drove business-level change

Migrated legacy data to a centralized store, eliminating fragmented information record-keeping and making information readily accessible
