Keepit provides cost-effective backup for ELIN Group

ELIN Group, an electrical engineering and technical building services company in Austria, searched for a new solution to back up its Microsoft 365 environment. With data retention requirements of up to 35 years, the company needed a provider that could offer a cost-effective and easy-to-use solution to comply with these requirements and secure its 1,800 users’ data.  

Easy-to-use, cost-effective backup  

ELIN Group’s previous backup and recovery solution was complicated to use, and the company, alongside partner LB-systems, went searching for a new, more user-friendly option. “Our old solution was very unhandy, and the user interface was terrible. We wanted an intuitive to use, cost-effective solution and were introduced to Keepit,” says Alfred Pusterhofer, Head of IT at ELIN Group.  

With Keepit, ELIN Group can recover critical Microsoft 365 data in seconds. The intuitive interface requires minimal to no training, allowing customers to locate, preview, and restore data with just a few clicks. “The ability to send backup data to our users through a web link has been very helpful to us in our daily work,” adds Alfred. 

Keepit’s solution is easy and simple to use, but most importantly, reliable.

Focus on securing business continuity   

Business continuity was important to ELIN Group, and when looking for a backup and recovery partner, they highlighted the importance of security measures such as immutability. “If our systems crash, we in IT must be up and running again as soon as possible. And to achieve this, the backup of Microsoft 365 using Keepit plays a crucial role,” explains Alfred.  

With increasing regulations, companies are expected to have disaster recovery plans in place — Keepit easily secures business critical data to enable companies to bounce back quickly in case of any data loss incident.   

Vendor-independent backup and recovery  

European-born Keepit provides completely independent backup for companies looking to secure their critical data. With data centers globally, customers can store their data in their own region to ensure data sovereignty. “When you follow the current geopolitical situation, European data centers are increasingly important to us,” says Alfred.   

 

The intelligent approach to compliance 

Keepit’s platform prioritizes cloud data integrity and compliance, providing an independent,  immutable backup environment with flexible access control and retention options. From secure architecture to audit-ready logs, Keepit ensures data remains protected, transparent, and aligned with all regulatory requirements. 

European data centers and immutability were important to us when choosing a backup and recovery vendor.
