Keepit supports dairy company Emmi with SaaS data backup for Microsoft
Emmi AG, the largest dairy processing company in Switzerland, is working with Keepit's backup solution for Microsoft 365
COPENHAGEN, DENMARK. August 23, 2024 – Since April 2024, Emmi AG, the largest dairy processing company in Switzerland with its own presence in 14 countries worldwide, has been working with the backup solution for Microsoft 365 from Keepit, a leading provider of cloud backup for SaaS applications.
After the expiry of its previous backup solution, Emmi was faced with the challenge of finding a comprehensive, scalable, and future-proof alternative. There were several reasons in favor of the Danish software-as-a-service company: The solution needed to back up all of Emmi's business-critical SaaS data for Microsoft 365, Azure DevOps and Entra ID on an independent private cloud, ensure business continuity, be able to restore the data immediately, and be user-friendly. And all this at a transparent fixed price with no hidden costs. Keepit meets these criteria and even offers its backup-as-a-service from Swiss data centers. Keepit stores two copies of the backed-up data on its own storage solution in two data centers, ensuring a clean air gap: A decisive factor for Emmi's security requirements.
After a proof of concept in production with real data, the backup solution was introduced — smoothly and in just a few hours. The operation of the Keepit solution required only minimal training for employees. The simple and almost self-explanatory functionality of the solution promoted internal acceptance.
For Emmi, the uncomplicated direct communication and the high level of expertise of all those involved also proved their worth. Another advantage of the Keepit solution is that it fits seamlessly into the dairy company's IT landscape and thus supports the centralized management of backups. The reliable, automated solution requires hardly any operational effort on Emmi's part.
For Marc Baumann, Lead Data Platform Services, the results of the collaboration speak for themselves: "With Keepit, we can effectively minimize downtime and data loss by performing regular backups without storage space restrictions. Overall, Keepit contributes significantly to Emmi's risk management by providing a reliable and scalable backup solution that secures business operations."
With Emmi's international business activities, it was also important that technology partners could provide a globally available and scalable offering. Keepit's global infrastructure was therefore another key advantage. The collaboration underlines Emmi's commitment to innovation and data security in the digital era. Keepit is proving to be the ideal partner for mastering the challenges of a globally active dairy.
