Global Biotech Firm Reduces Costs & Strengthens M365 Security with eSHARE

Challenge

A global biotechnology leader faced rising cloud storage costs, security vulnerabilities, and fragmented governance across its use of Microsoft 365. IT leadership and digital workplace teams needed a solution that would eliminate unnecessary third-party storage expense, enhance governance to reduce security risk, simplify compliance with HIPAA, GDPR, and other regulatory standards, reduce IT workload by automating data classification and policy enforcement, and ensure seamless, secure external collaboration.
