Client Success Story – Migrating from OneDrive to Sharepoint
The Client
Leaman Crellin, Regulatory Compliance Consultants, led by CEO Katharine Leaman, is a growing business in a sector where confidentiality and data security are paramount. Initially, the company’s data was stored locally on Katherine’s OneDrive, limiting accessibility and posing risks as the team expanded.
The Problem
As Leaman Crellin grew, the company needed a solution to securely share files among team members while safeguarding sensitive business information. Using a personal OneDrive account for file storage became inadequate, especially given the sector’s strict confidentiality requirements.
Katharine explains, “I needed to share business files with my new team, but we also had to ensure that no records could ever be left on a hard drive in case of theft or loss.”
Additionally, the business required a robust backup system to ensure continuity in the event of a catastrophic incident affecting their IT infrastructure.
The Solution
nTrust proposed migrating all company data from OneDrive to a SharePoint environment with strict access controls, ensuring that only authorised users could view or edit files. This provided centralised storage and access to critical business documents, securely managed within the company’s domain.
To address the need for disaster recovery, nTrust implemented AFI Backup across all Microsoft 365 accounts, providing automated daily backups. This safeguard protects Leaman Crellin against data loss due to hardware failure, theft, or other IT disruptions.
Working with nTrust
nTrust collaborated closely with Leaman Crellin to ensure a seamless migration to SharePoint. The team set up permission-based access controls for different folders and files, ensuring compliance with confidentiality regulations.
Katharine said, “Throughout the project, nTrust’s approach was methodical and reflected our operational needs. Communications were clear and I was kept updated at every stage”.
The Benefits and Outcome
The migration to SharePoint and implementation of AFI Backup has transformed Leaman Crellin’s data management. The team now shares and accesses files securely, while daily backups ensure business continuity and protection from data loss.
“Our new solution has enabled me to run the business more efficiently with the confidence that access is tightly controlled. Data never leaves our domain, ensuring the protection of sensitive customer information.” says Katherine.
By centralising their data and securing it with automatic backups, Leaman Crellin has achieved both operational efficiency and enhanced security, allowing the company to focus on growth without day-to-day concerns over data breaches or loss.
