As a global organization with offices in 35 countries, Corbion utilizes SharePoint 2013 Environment as a business critical application and document collaboration environment for 2,000 users. In addition to providing access to important information on the company’s intranet, the platform is utilized by the company’s research and development team to share and collaborate on all content related to products, including specifications, research, and plans for new innovations.
In 2013, Corbion merged three different companies into one entity. The company decided it needed to improve the architecture of its SharePoint 2007 farm to meet Microsoft’s recommended site collection size of 100 gigabytes (GB) or less while migrating to SharePoint 2010. “Our entire environment was two very large site collections – one was 700 GB and the other was 800 GB,” said Feitze Mast, Manager of Collaboration & Productivity at Corbion.
- Migrated three terabyte SharePoint environment to a newer version within four months, restructuring site collection architecture in the process and preserving associated metadata with full fidelity<br />
- Simplified permissions management and automated policy enforcement for 2,000 users in the cloud<br />
- Automatically generated monthly reports to review user permissions for sites containing sensitive data to make changes according to governance policies
Throughout the evolution of its SharePoint deployment, Corbion was able to rely on fully integrated solutions from AvePoint for its migration, management, and reporting needs both on premises and in the cloud. With access to 24/7 technical support, the company was able to simplify platform administration for its global user base at all times. “Our experience with AvePoint’s support team has been great,” Mast said. “They always respond quickly and help us until the issue is entirely resolved.”
