Situation
Angelicoussis Group wanted to modernize its workplace and transform its business to provide a modern, flexible and secure environment for its employees. This environment must support easy but secure access to the company data by both local and remote users, using desktop, web & mobile clients. The current environment consisted of local email & collaboration servers that needed a large network and server infrastructure for the servers and data, backup and high operation costs.
Solution
Office Line S.A. designed and implemented a modern environment solution to cover all Angelicoussis Group requirements. The solution consists of a hybrid environment using the local Data Center, Microsoft Azure and Office 365, that makes it fully resilient. The users can access the corporate data in a simple way, using desktop apps, browsers and mobile apps, protected with the latest security features.
The local Exchange & Skype for Business Servers migrated to SaaS Exchange Online, SfB Online & Teams. To support the extra services that depend to those services, we deployed the required infrastructure on Microsoft Azure for the best resiliency. To provide access to Angelicoussis group local applications, we implemented Azure AD Application Proxy. To protect the access, we configured Azure AD Premium, Conditional Access & Intune. For the user’s convenience, we implemented Self Service Password Reset & User Portal to the employees.
Benefits
After the implementation of the project by Office Line, Angelicoussis Group reaps the following benefits:
- Global availability of the services, using Microsoft Azure & Office 365 data centers that are globally distributed.
- High Availability, that is implemented with a fully redundant setup.
- Secure and easy access for the users, using the latest identity & enterprise security and mobility features.
- Protection of the local applications, by publishing them from the Azure Active Directory.
