Customer Spotlight: Let’s Get Physical with Hybrid File Services

Every week, millions of individuals across 15,000 gyms in 80 countries take part in LES MILLS™ group fitness and team training programs. It’s a huge endeavor to manage the business across so many globally-dispersed locations, and the IT department is tasked to ensure that their more than 100,000 instructors and team members have access to the right information when and where they need it.

LES MILLS faced a major issue of not knowing who could and could not access their business data, or where their files were physically being stored. Some files were stored on desktops and external hard drives, making it difficult to share and manage files across different site. At the same time, some users were placing files in consumer-grade cloud services, causing visibility and security issues for IT trying to manage intellectual property and other sensitive data across the entire organization.

To eliminate the problems associated with Shadow IT and to give control back to IT, the company chose Egnyte as their enterprise file services solution. They were able to optimize their current corporate infrastructure investments and provide seamless and secure access to business files to comply with the security and compliance standards of each country of operation. For more information on how LES MILLS uses Egnyte’s suite of services to solve their file sharing, management and access needs, check out the video below.
