Client

A financial services provider focused on delivering financial inclusion for the urban poor through microfinance.

Ambition

To replace an antiquated, unreliable email system with a modern, secure, and highly cost-effective collaboration platform that aligned with their lean operating model.

Outcome

Architected an innovative, hybrid cloud solution that balanced advanced features with ultra-low-cost alternatives, meeting all business needs while staying within a strict budget.

The Ambition

A financial services provider focused on delivering financial inclusion for the urban poor through microfinance.

The Challenge

Their basic, low-cost public mail provider suffered from limited storage, poor support, and a lack of security, hampering productivity. However, a full-fledged enterprise SaaS solution was not economically feasible for every single user across the organization.

The Architectural Blueprint

The client's ambition was to operate with a modern, secure, and reliable collaboration platform without making a heavy upfront investment that would conflict with their lean operating cost model. They needed to provide enterprise-grade tools to key users while finding an affordable solution for their wider user base.

Ambition, Realized

By thinking out of the box, we delivered a solution that met all their business needs while staying within a strict budget. End-user productivity was greatly enhanced with enterprise-class functionality for those who needed it. The hybrid model ensured significant cost savings by allocating licenses based on user profiles instead of a one-size-fits-all approach. System downtime was virtually eliminated, and the solution delivered a positive ROI in a short span of time.
