When global food and beverage giant Nestlé wanted to take advantage of the secure collaboration offered by the cloud, it faced a monumental task. Migrating data for more than 300,000 users would require overcoming significant technical challenges, but leadership also knew the importance of something much less tangible: influencing the habits and attitudes of a diverse, worldwide workforce. After careful review, the company chose Microsoft OneDrive, part of Microsoft Office 365, as its file sharing solution. The productivity-enhancing app almost sells itself to users.

Nestlé makes so much of what we consume. Headquartered in Vevey, Switzerland, Nestlé is the world’s largest food and beverage company, operating in 189 countries and selling more than 1 billion products every day. Successful collaboration is key to its success. In 2015, the company embarked on a journey to reduce infrastructure and strengthen digital collaboration with a Microsoft 365 deployment.

Nestlé had the usual reasons for migrating to the cloud: transform into an agile, product-based organization, reduce infrastructure costs, improve security, and deliver convenient collaboration tools that are easy to use. A Herculean migration task lay before their IT team and the numbers were staggering—308,000 users, 1,500 office locations, including 500 factories in more than 70 countries. But Nestlé found that once it started to roll out Microsoft OneDrive, the migration process slowly picked up speed while achieving the expected cost reductions and proving to be a convenient tool for employees.
