GDPR Compliance Migration Case Study

Gatwick Airport needed to lower operational costs during the COVID-19 pandemic by consolidating into Microsoft 365. With the need to migrate 20+ TB of data and over 2000 users, Gatwick Airport turned to us. Our GDPR compliance and flexible policies made it simple for Gatwick to choose us as their migration partner.

To ensure complete GDPR compliance, we used migration instances hosted in the UK. Our managed migration service enabled Gatwick Airport to migrate all its users and data while accurately preserving metadata.
