Saved up to 50% of IT Costs thanks to Cloud Transformation and Introduction of Office 365

Thanks to the introduction of the entire Office 365 range, FC Thun can reduce its internal IT costs by 50%.

Founded in 1898, FC Thun is the largest sports club in the Bernese Oberland. In 2002, FC Thun succeeded in advancing to the highest division, the Raiffeisen Super League. There, FC Thun surprises with its constant performances and becomes an integral part of the league. Since 2011, FC Thun has been playing in the very modern Stockhorn Arena, which can seat up to 10‘000 visitors.

Initial Situation

The local server and client IT infrastructure had reached the end of its life cycle. The decision was made to either continue with the existing on-premises technology (local server infrastructure) or to deploy new Microsoft cloud technologies and thus take a big step towards a modern way of working. The goal was to find a flexible, scalable and cost-effective solution that would meet the requirements of a modern workplace including teamwork.

Solution

At FC Thun AG, all computers were renewed and migrated to Windows 10. The entire Office 365 platform was used, as well as Skype, SharePoint, Planner and other functions. The end-user devices are managed and administered with Microsoft Windows Intune, which ensures the security of the entire working environment.

FC Thun AG benefits from various services from Microsoft Office 365:

  • 100 GB mailbox per user
  • unlimited mail archive
  • access to all functions from all possible mobile devices

Thanks to the solution, the acquisition and maintenance of local IT systems can be dispensed with in the future, thus eliminating the need for cost-intensive hardware replacements.
