How sepia solutions helped Colgate Palmolive Pakistan Limited to migrate from the legacy system to G suite:
Proposal Overview
Colgate Palmolive is an extensive organization, well known for being reliable, its high-quality products and well-managed departments.
Colgate Palmolive Pvt. Ltd. approached Sepia Solutions to acquire Managed Google G Suite Licensing and deployment services, to be able to move their email services to Google G Suite. The program is designed for the clients that intend to perform a migration to Google G Suite from legacy email system, and wish to engage Sepia Solutions to help execute many of the task involved in the smooth migration to the new system.
Problem Summary
A legacy system that no longer worked for the business. Colgate Palmolive Pakistan Limited was using a legacy messaging solution hosted on-premises IBM Notes (formerly knowns as Lotus Notes, IBM Domino). It had become old, outdated, and was not able to provide advanced technology value it once did. The continuously increasing amount of space requirements, as well as the progressive expansion of the organization, had created the need for Colgate Palmolive Pakistan to consider moving to Cloud Services.
