CASE STUDY
Real estate isn ’ t an industry known for early IT adoption . However , McGrath Estate Agents bucked that trend in the 1990s when they acquired innovative tools to support agents and boost productivity .
McGrath was spot on about IT ; productivity multiplied , sales soared and McGrath became a leading residential real estate group .
“ We also wanted a solution that would grow with us , since we ’ re on a roadmap to double our office footprint in the next few years .”
McGrath had been using another provider to protect their on-premises data , but the IT team was unsure of that provider ’ s ability to protect their data in the cloud . The goal was to migrate 99 % of on-premises data to cloud-based Microsoft 365 and Azure .
Still a powerhouse today , McGrath is experiencing another business growth challenge . New agents are joining in droves and competing real estate groups are queueing to join the McGrath brand . With each new entity comes an immense amount of data .
“ We discovered that protecting data in the cloud was complex with ( the other provider ), so we looked for a simple solution that would support our rapid business growth ,” Warner said . “ We partnered with Veeam Data Cloud is simple to use too .”
“ We often don ’ t know how much data they ’ re bringing until they ’ re officially onboard , so our challenge was finding automated , scalable backup ,” said Darren Warner , Head of Technology , McGrath Estate Agents .
“ Protecting our fast-growing data is so easy and straightforward with Veeam ,” Warner said . “ It ’ s also affordable and predictable , enabling us to forecast IT costs as McGrath grows .
