Challenge	Geffen Mesher, a Portland-based accounting and consulting firm, was facing challenges with its data retention strategy. The company was using Veeam for backup on premises and was also paying a local MSP to backup certain critical servers both on and offsite. This resulted in doubling up the work and paying for it. The company was also aware of the increasing cybersecurity threats and the lack of backup protection for OneDrive, Teams, and SharePoint data offered by Office 365. The company was in need of a change to secure and reliable access to data, reduce backup costs, and prepare for increasing cybersecurity threats. Read More

Solution	Geffen Mesher partnered with [11:11] for Secure Cloud Backup for Veeam Cloud Connect and Secure Cloud Backup for Office 365 to simplify and secure the company’s data retention strategy. The company initially explored the viability of handling the company’s core backups as well as its backups for Office 365 in-house. However, the infrastructure requirements proved too costly, and the company opted to go with a cloud-based backup provider, and a highly-recommended Veeam partner, like [11:11 Systems]. This change in strategy also complemented the ethos of a company run by, and filled with, CPAs, who naturally favor an operating expenses (OPEX) model that makes it easier to track and plan for costs down the road.
