  • When IMD’s IT provider suffered a security incident and was offline for several days, the high-tech company’s operations came to a standstill. The situation made one thing clear: the existing IT was not crisis-proof.

  • Together with Netrics, operations were restored in the shortest possible time and a hybrid cloud environment was built – including a modern digital workplace based on Microsoft 365.

Challenge
Solution

Sometimes it takes a crisis to reveal how crucial a strong foundation really is. At IMD, this became clear when its previous IT service provider went offline for several days following a security incident.  The dependency was high – and business operations came to a halt. In this critical situation, IMD turned to Netrics.

What followed was a tour de force under immense time pressure: a rapid risk analysis, an immediate action plan and a team working around the clock to get IMD up and running again. This included rebuilding the required infrastructure, migrating applications and data to the secure Netrics Private Cloud and implementing additional security measures such as multi-factor authentication. When the first employees were able to return to work, there was a great sense of relief.

But IMD didn’t want to return to “how things were before.” The move to the Netrics Private Cloud highlighted the productivity potential of a well-designed hybrid cloud setup. Together with Netrics, IMD therefore set up a modern digital workplace based on Microsoft 365. Supported by comprehensive change management, a working environment was created that not only operates efficiently, but empowers and connects employees.

  • Why this is exciting for your company too

  • Many organizations know this scenario: it often takes an incident to expose how vulnerable their IT landscape really is. IMD’s story proves that a hybrid cloud approach not only restores stability and security, but also paves the way for modern collaboration and digital resilience.

    I want this too!

Fazit

If you want to combine security with flexibility, the Hybrid Cloud is the way to go.
