The challenge

The Dutch Institute for Sound & Vision is a broad cultural organization that has a central function within the archiving and media sector both at home and abroad, thanks to its accumulated knowledge and infrastructure. To maintain this function, the Institute has set goals, which include ICT-related objectives:

• To save on costs of existing servers, licenses and maintenance

• To offer employees an innovative and future-proof workplace

• To collaborate and share knowledge better within the organization, at a time of great changes

The solution

Together with g-company, Sound & Vision has phased in:

• Gmail and Google Calendar, to replace Outlook and Exchange

• Google Sites, to replace the old intranet and other knowledge systems (all Sharepoint-based)

• Google Drive and online applications such as Google Docs, Sheets and Slides, to replace file storage and Office applications
