Non-profit streamlines its Office 365 environment

The Theotokos Foundation based in Greece, has chosen a new solution to help manage its Microsoft Office 365 environment. The non-profit welfare organization has deployed Metalogix Essentials for Office 365, which will also help ensure comprehensive backup, data protection and disaster recovery for internal and client data.

The Theotokos Foundation—which serves more than 300 learning and developmentally disabled clients and their families—is in the process of planning a SharePoint cloud rollout, for which Metalogix solutions also will be leveraged.

The organization recently migrated to Microsoft Office 365 with the goal of enhancing productivity and collaboration. With the deployment, the organization faced such challenges as streamlining management of its environment and 200 Office 365 user licenses, as well as ensuring comprehensive data protection and recovery capabilities.

Metalogix Essentials now enables the Theotokos Foundation to automate provisioning and management of its Office 365 users and licenses. It gives the non-profit the ability to manage Office 365 while improving adoption and simplifying day-to-day administrative tasks, according to Metalogix.

George Koumarianos, IT manager of the Theotokos Foundation, says, “Metalogix Essentials provided just what we needed to protect our vital information, in an easy to deploy and manage package. Moreover, right away we could see that it was much more flexible than any other solution we evaluated. With the solution in place, the Theotokos Foundation enjoys complete peace of mind that our data is highly available, reliably protected and ready for fast and simplified recovery if needed.”

Koumarianos adds, “Once our users have been trained on SharePoint, we will also use Metalogix to optimize and protect our SharePoint data in the cloud.”

The Theotokos Foundation, with guidance from IT solutions adviser Orthology, evaluated multiple products before choosing Metalogix Essentials.
