Your complete office in the cloud.
An FMCG story backed by a fast moving IT solution
FMCG companies are defined by their scale, size and pace.
And a constant need to be connected across various teams at all times.
Over 125 years old, Dabur stands as one of India’s leading FMCG stalwarts.
With a wide rural-urban distribution network, and over 2.8 M retail outlets.
Dabur has always been a strong believer in technology…
And the positive outcome it can have in business across functions…
Dabur extensively uses IT solutions for its multiple needs…
But staying connected across the entire organization is most essential.
Therefore they felt the need to bring all users under one domain.
Initially skeptical about the Cloud, Dabur soon realized its advantages…
And decided on a 15 day pilot to test Cloud based solutions.
Within one and a half months, 8 locations of Dabur had shifted online at just 5% of the cost.
With a mix of on premise and Cloud services, Dabur enjoys the best of both.
Retaining its own server for critical data while giving employees services like…
Access to email, calendars, contacts and more from any Internet-connected device.
Unified email IDs for teams from all geographies under the Dabur.com domain.
And great audio/video conferencing options on a single network
While for the IT team at Dabur, the advantages are becoming evident…
80% reduction in costs with no investment in hardware and a low subscription fee.
Low IT management and improved reliability.
And no headache of dealing with 3rd party service providers for maintenance.
Dabur now plans to move its email completely to the Cloud followed by more Office applications.
To ensure that the next chapter in its story is written on the back of its IT.
“If we had deployed any other solution, the cost of adding storage capacity on-premises could have been exponential. We have reduced our costs by hosting this solution in the cloud.”Anil GargChief Information Office, Dabur India
