Beyaz Fırın reduced IT investment costs and increased company profitability by 30% with its Office 365 productivity solution.
After moving to the cloud with Office 365, Beyaz Fırın achieved great efficiency, especially in terms of e-mail and file sharing. Company employees began to have synchronized access to their e-mails and files from anywhere.
Beyaz Fırın, which has been operating as a patisserie and brasserie for more than 100 years with its branches in Istanbul, is a well-known brand that offers many centuries-old flavors, from Easter pastries to macaroon. Beyaz Fırın also sells its products online. Beyaz Fırın, one of the first brands that comes to mind when it comes to bakery and pastry art, had problems with e-mails from time to time. The company found a solution to both the lack of capacity and the synchronization problem of the devices receiving the e-mails with Office 365.
Company Profitability Increased
Office 365's most important contribution to the company was to increase the profitability of the company by reducing the IT investment costs. Before the company moved to the cloud with Office 365, they planned to configure their Exchange Server software and make it available to the internet. Office365 did not require such investment. In other words, it eliminated the initial costs such as server and license costs, firewall, active devices, fiber line rental, backup services, and maintenance services that must be paid for the continuity of the system.
Up to 70% Price Advantage in IT Investments
Having problems with the e-mail service they used until a while ago, Beyaz Fırın was experiencing problems due to both lack of capacity and the devices receiving emails not being synchronized with each other. For example, when an e-mail sent to a mobile phone was deleted, the same e-mail had to be deleted from the computer as well. They also needed support from time to time with the e-mail of computers in branches and their management. Apart from that, there was the burden of installing and managing some software in this regard, as there was a large amount of spam and infected e-mails. Having to make periodic backups to avoid data loss, Beyaz Fırın's IT Department also had to use a VPN to access common files over branches.
In the face of all these problems, Beyaz Fırın decided to meet with Office 365 thanks to Makronet Information Technologies company, from which they received IT consultancy. One of the most important reasons for the company to choose Microsoft's cloud solution Office 365, was especially the price advantage up to 70% in IT investments it provided. After moving to the cloud with Office 365, Beyaz Fırın achieved great efficiency, especially in terms of e-mail and file sharing. Company employees began to have synchronized access to their e-mails and files from anywhere. Apart from that, thanks to the Lync software that comes with Office 365, meetings between branch managers can be held online.
