Microsoft 365 Migration, Microsoft Defender for Office 365
Facts that Matter:
- Challenge: Legacy on-premises Exchange Server limiting collaboration, security, and scalability
- Solution: Hybrid join migration to Microsoft 365 with Defender for Office 365 and Outlook adoption
- Impact: Minimal disruption, stronger security, and improved governance and compliance
Motivations for change
Aegon Insights, the Asia Pacific consulting arm of Aegon – a global leader in financial services – offers a comprehensive technology platform that streamlines insurance operations. Their platform empowers insurance companies across the region with efficient policy administration, streamlined fulfillment management, accurate billing processes, and robust claims management.
But their email and collaboration infrastructure was holding them back. A legacy on-premises Exchange Server presented growing challenges: limited scalability, mounting security concerns, and the operational overhead of maintaining aging infrastructure. Aegon Insights needed a modern, cloud-based platform that could keep pace with their ambitions – and a Microsoft-certified managed service provider to get them there with minimal disruption.
The solution
Aegon Insights partnered with iwx to migrate their email system from legacy Exchange Server to Microsoft 365, supported by a tailored, low-disruption approach:
- Hybrid join with Microsoft 365: Enabled a seamless migration of mailboxes with minimal disruption to daily operations, ensuring a smooth transition for both users and IT staff
- Microsoft Defender for Office 365: Implemented comprehensive cloud-based security safeguarding the email system against advanced threats like phishing, malware, ransomware, and spoofing
- Microsoft Outlook adoption: Facilitated a unified user experience across desktop and mobile, allowing users to access email, calendar, contacts, and tasks from any device, anywhere
The impact
Aegon Insights successfully migrated to Microsoft 365 with minimal disruption to users and IT operations – delivering immediate and lasting benefits.
Improved governance and compliance through regular reviews and alignment with best practices
Enhanced data security with advanced cloud-based protections against phishing, malware, and ransomware
Unified user experience with Microsoft Outlook across all devices and platforms
