Apparel Company Chooses Hosted Services Over On-Site Software to Save 55 Percent

Kellwood Company, one of the nation’s largest apparel manufacturers and owner of brands such as Vince, Baby Phat, and Sag Harbor sought up-to-date messaging technologies to increase employee efficiency. The company had been using an outdated IBM Lotus Notes e-mail service that was not compatible with its Microsoft IT environment or customers’ and partners’ Microsoft messaging solutions. Kellwood replaced its Lotus Notes, BlackBerry, and Web conferencing solutions with Microsoft Online Services. The company gained a suite of communication, collaboration, and archiving services at one-third of the price of its current Lotus Notes environment. Kellwood also achieved substantial savings on Web conferencing and e-mail archiving solutions.
