Halozyme Migration/Teamwork Case Study
INDUSTRY: Biotechnology
MARKET: Worldwide
SIZE: 300+ Employees
Need/Challenge
Halozyme’s IT team managed a SharePoint Server 2013 infrastructure on-premise, and their Intranet and Collaboration content was mixed in a single site collection. As a result, Halozyme communicated difficulty governing user permissions, wanted to ensure security and compliance, and did not have the resources to maintain ongoing SharePoint servers.
Overview
Halozyme expressed interest in migrating to Office 365 and SharePoint online. They wanted to optimize the digital workplace experience and free up IT resources. Halozyme previously had an in-house SharePoint resource who was very skilled with certain aspects of SharePoint administration. However, Halozyme wanted to tap into Klarinet’s deep bench of talented resources experts at SharePoint Architecture, Design, Support, and Automation. Halozyme engaged with Klarinet to replace the in-house resource for a team of experts at cost savings.
Solution/Engagement
Klarinet deployed Valo Intranet and Teamwork for Office 365. Valo provides a turnkey solution to deliver a digital workplace platform in a concise period of time. Klarinet migrated all intranet and collaboration content to Office 365. Simultaneously, optimized information architecture and security using Microsoft’s best practices.
Klarinet’s team of SharePoint experts engaged with Halozyme by hosting weekly status meetings, assisting onsite on a weekly basis, and leveraging a support portal that was available on-demand. As a result, Klarinet is now an integral part of the Halozyme family as a trusted technology partner. We serve as an extension of their IT and Enterprise Applications team.
