Holdigaz Selects ownCloud Secure File Sharing to Replace Vulnerable Dropbox Folders

Holdigaz,based in Switzerland,is the holding company for sixteen businesses across the energy sector.With a combined experience of more than 150 years in the distribution of gas for lighting,heating and industrial processes,they have a rich history of excellence to uphold.Whether negotiating agreements or sharing corporate documents, it’s critical that employees have a solid foundation upon which to collaborate.

“As a holding company it’s particularly challenging to provide collaboration infrastructure that meets the varied needs of our member businesses without burdening IT.ownCloud provided the perfect solution to our file sharing needs out-of-the-box.”

David Leonard, Infrastructure Administrator Holdigaz

On-Premises Security

IP Protection

As a company that works in the energy sector,strict data compliance and audit requirements must be met.With ownCloud the infrastructure team is assured data policies can be enforced and monitored with ease.

When employees have their own “Dropbox”,the files they post belong to them. Conversely,when they store and share files in ownCloud,Holdigaz maintains ownership rights.This is extremely important to protect the intellectual property of a wide range of energy companies under management.

“When it comes to service,ownCloud leads the way.I wish all our technology providers cared about my business as much as the team at ownCloud.”

David Leonard, Infrastructure Administrator Holdigaz

Self-Service Implementation

As a holding company,Holdigaz does not have day-to-day operational access to all companies under management.Because of that,it was very important that the file sharing solution selected was self-service and required little ongoing support.ownCloud fit the bill and with just a couple of “train-the-trainer” sessions,ownCloud has been up and running with virtually no help desk tickets.

 

ownCloud is the choice of thousands of organizations across the globe as they look to share files securely, enable access to unstructured data through a single plane–all while maintaining control of sensitive data. Their stories highlight the flexible and secure ways that ownCloud is deployed. We are proud to call them our customers.
