Visaka Industries Deploys Microsoft Office 365

In a move to enhance business productivity and keep place with the growth plans, Visaka Industries deployed Microsoft Office 365 across its India offices. The second largest cement sheet manufacturer in India selected Office 365 over Google Apps to improve employee productivity, boost team communication and collaboration, and save money.

Visaka Industries has been steadily growing over the years and so were its IT requirements. The profound requirement was to build the company’s IT infrastructure to keep pace with its growth plans and ensure smooth communication and collaboration amongst the employees. In this process, the company faced intermittent and unpredictable issues owing to IT infrastructural bottlenecks, further leading to downtime, considerable IT overhead and productivity loss. Microsoft’s productivity and collaboration solution – Office 365 resolved the issues of Visaka Industries. Moreover, just when the company was about to invest in a multi-party video conference solution, they chose Microsoft Lync.

Krishna Moorthi, President - IT, Visaka Industries stated, “The move to Office 365 has been remarkable so far as it brings cloud versions of Microsoft’s familiar Office productivity solutions, enabling our employees to start using the services immediately. We were also able to switch our employees from Google Apps to Office 365 services in a short span of time, with no downtime. Microsoft Office 365 clearly out-shines Google Apps not only in ease of use but also in terms of reliability and manageability.”

Visaka Industries has further growth plans on its anvil, as a result it becomes important for the business to have a unified presence with a common IT platform. The deployment of Office 365 came as they were seeking a cloud solution that could integrate well with their existing IT infrastructure and could migrate to cloud on their terms. With the deployment of Office 365, Visaka Industries observed multiple value additions including reduced costs and administration, less downtime and stronger security and reliability.

Ramkumar Pichai, General Manager - Microsoft Office Division, Microsoft India, “We are confident that our technology, experience and resources will securely host Visaka Industries’ critical communication and collaboration services. Microsoft’s value proposition to enhance business productivity leaves Google Apps far behind.”
