Case Study
Strengthening Security and Simplifying Management with Microsoft E5
A major home improvement retailer faced high costs and complexity from a multi-vendor security setup following an acquisition. Partnering with Softchoice, the company conducted a thorough review and transitioned from Microsoft E3 to E5, consolidating tools under Microsoft Defender and Purview. This modernization simplified management, reduced risks, and enhanced automation readiness for future AI adoption. Softchoice secured $200,000 in deployment funding, guided implementation to avoid business disruption, and achieved $400,000 in savings. The project was completed on time and on budget with a perfect customer satisfaction score.
