Logivations switches to Client & Partner Data Rooms from Tresorit

Logivations, a consulting and technology firm specializing in supply chain, logistics, and e-commerce, faced various security challenges with traditional server-based systems. The company recognized the limitations On-Premises-operations and sought a more flexible and secure solution, choosing Client & Partner Data Rooms from Tresorit.

The Company: Logivations is an international consulting and technology company with headquarters in Munich, combining expertise in logistics, IT and mathematics to offer a holistic approach to supply chain, warehouse and production logistics, and e-commerce.

Challenges: When Dr Christoph Plapp, owner and managing partner of Logivations decided to cut the cord and move all business documents to the cloud, it seemed like a no-brainer. With sales and consulting teams, as well as partners and clients all over Europe and beyond, using a secure Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection just didn’t seem to do the job anymore.

“Accessing and sharing documents in safe matter became something of a daily battle. As we work with huge amounts of data, it either took far too long or required far too much bandwidth. To make things worse, if you had a poor connection, or no internet at all, you couldn’t do anything. There was no way to work on anything offline,” Plapp explains. Stability was also a serious issue. The connection kept dropping because the system couldn’t handle the sheer volume of the data – something a technology firm that uses the latest web and optimization technologies in its solutions, and works with partners like SAP simply cannot afford.

Search for a solution: Searching for an alternative to the current, hard to maintain and insecure On-Premises-Solution the Logivations team have certainly done their homework, trying and testing several cloud solutions from Google Drive to Dropbox, and from Microsoft OneDrive to Deutsche Telekom’s services. “No matter where I looked, I just couldn’t find any product I was 100% happy with,” Plapp recalls. “The story usually went like this: the solution was reliable and convenient but had gaping security holes or it was secure but lacked stability or user-friendliness.”

During their research, Christoph came across Tresorit and decided to try it out. He was impressed by the user-friendly interface and the easy syncing process, but what truly caught his attention was Tresorit’s robust security measures, including end-to-end encryption as well as the fast deployment. This discovery prompted Logivations to explore Tresorit's broader capabilities, including its data room functionalities. These ensure that sensitive information belonging to different clients and partners are segregated and accessible only to authorized individuals. This segregation helps maintain confidentiality and prevents unauthorized access.

Other decisive factors were:

  1. Data Security and Reliability: Logivations prioritized data security and reliability, seeking a solution that could ensure the integrity and confidentiality of their sensitive business documents.
  2. User-Friendly Interface: Tresorit’s user-friendly interface was appealing to Logivations, making it easy for their team to navigate and manage their documents efficiently.
  3. Rapid Deployment and time-to-market: Tresorit facilitated fast implementation, ensuring a quick time-to-market with minimum training required and without disrupting existing processes.
  4. Offline Access: With a need for accessing files offline, Logivations valued Tresorit’s ability to select files and folders for offline access, ensuring productivity even in low-connectivity environments.
  5. End-to-End Encryption: Tresorit’s end-to-end encryption provided Logivations with peace of mind, ensuring that their data remained secure from unauthorized access throughout its lifecycle.
  6. Control Over Data Access: Logivations appreciated Tresorit’s granular control over user access, allowing them to easily manage permissions and revoke access when necessary, enhancing overall data governance.
  7. Efficient Syncing: Tresorit’s background syncing feature streamlined Logivations’ workflows, ensuring that their documents were always up-to-date across devices without manual intervention.

Results: Due to Tresorits fast time to market and low training requirements all company data, including highly confidential information on customer projects, legal documents as well as invoicing and financial data, could be migrated to Tresorit in no time. Today Tresorit provides Logivations with total control over data access and permissions, eliminating previous struggles with user management. Maintenance became minimal, and software crashes became a thing of the past, leading to improved reliability and productivity. The seamless integration of Tresorit into Logivations' workflow transformed document management, enhancing collaboration and productivity. Tangible benefits included cost savings from consolidating multiple platforms and increased efficiency in document handling.

The admins of Logivations appreciate the total control over who has access to the data, for how long and to what degree. “It’s easy to grant and revoke access, and to differentiate between users according to the access levels necessary for them. This is something that we’d struggled with before. And there’s hardly any maintenance needed, even though we store everything that other companies keep on their servers in the cloud,” Plapp adds. And the best thing? Software crashes are a thing of the past.

Feedback and lessons learned: Logivations’ clients using the Data Room capabilities of Tresorit appreciate the solutions ease of use and robust security features, fostering trust and collaboration. The platform’s transparency in data handling further solidified client partnerships.

“I’m really happy with the functionalities Tresorit offers. Finally here’s a tool that not only works perfectly but does so in the background. The system is robust so we don’t have to keep checking, as we used to do, if we’re still connected to it. And ensuring that our data is safe couldn’t be more straightforward. Tresorit’s cloud solution is exactly what we needed”, says Plapp.
