Communication, collaboration, talking—some key values of the EHL Group. Collecting and centralising its Office 365 tenants with a view to reinforcing the links between the various global EHL campuses and fostering dialogue between its campuses in Switzerland and Singapore were the aims of this major project.
The EHL Group, notably including the EHL Hospitality Business School (founded in 1893 as The Swiss Hospitality School (Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne), wanted to strengthen links and foster dialogue between its various campuses. Driving factors for the project were the acquisition of a new campus in Passugg, Switzerland as well as a new centralised IT setup.
We set up a workshop with our client’s IT teams to establish the requirements, restraints, and prerequisite of this major project for EHL.
With the information collected, our experts were equipped to select the right tool for the situation. They decided on the BitTitan MigrationWiz, which corresponded perfectly to our client’s expectations both in terms of functionality and cost.
In order to ensure project implementation, our teams performed tests to validate various technical points and risks identified with Marco Grosso, EHL Group Digital Services Delivery Manager, and his team.
Our experts then organised the migration project into several phases.
“Project management was one of the key points of this migration. Bechtle’s teams perfectly managed all steps. The coordination with our IT team was very good, both professionally and personally—Bechtle’s experts were at one with our team which guaranteed success. The interactions with our Key Account Manager were in keeping with this beacon project for EHL,” Marco Grosso tells us.
Both in the run-up to the project with our Key Account Manager, and during the migration, we were very happy with our relationship with Bechtle. The teams are still demonstrating their responsiveness and professionalism, meeting our needs and successfully meeting the challenges posed of them.
For us, Bechtle is a trusted partner we’ve already realised numerous projects with and with whom we would not hesitate to take on new challenges.
“The integration of the Passugg campus meant centralised management from an IT perspective. We wanted to mark the merger with a strong signal, and this migration was our first step in this direction. An integration is never a simple thing, but this migration was carried out very well, and we know that the forthcoming changes will be well received. Especially since this major step has let us hugely simplify management and governance. We are now all on the same tenant, benefiting from the same support, our interactions have been strengthened and this is all in the spirit of the EHL Group strategies,” Marco Grosso reports happily.
