Industrial Automation Manufacturer Data Management Case Study

This case study details the challenges faced by a leading global industrial automation manufacturer in managing data storage to comply with legal, regulatory, and operational requirements. The company, operating in over 100 countries, encountered issues with Microsoft Exchange Online user mailboxes reaching storage limits due to legal holds, which disrupted workflow for senior executives. To address these challenges, the company implemented solutions from Exterro and Archive360, moving system backup images and journaling emails to a cloud-native archive. This transition eliminated the need for physical access to servers and reduced the administrative burden associated with managing PST files. The Archive360 platform enabled the organization to automate email storage management, legal holds, and data discovery processes. As a result, the Information Management team experienced improved efficiency, reduced compliance risks, and enhanced data governance, ultimately allowing for better resource allocation and productivity.
