Innovating Therapies to Improve Lives, Without Worrying about Data Protection
Their Successful Cloud-first Strategy Rests on a Reliable Backup Solution
To keep pace with technology to support their actively expanding product portfolio, AMAG Pharmaceuticals moved their email, calendar and data to the cloud. To ensure business continuity, best practice dictates a reliable backup for critical data.
“Your job does not end with just moving your data to the cloud. While Google provides a robust and redundant infrastructure, it does not cover for an object that is either accidentally deleted or maliciously deleted,” says Steve Simmons, Director of IA at AMAG Pharmaceuticals.
“We knew we could not move to the cloud unless we had data protection in place. And that is where Spanning played an integral part of our cloud-first strategy.” - STEVE SIMMONS, Director of IA, AMAG Pharmaceuticals
Before Spanning, AMAG’s backup infrastructure consisted of a lot of hardware and software, with complex backup windows and licensing models. “Spanning makes the whole backup process easy for our Google Workspace data, including Gmail, Drives, calendar and contacts,” Steve adds.
Spanning Ensures Business Continuity with Effortless Backup and Saves Time with Self-service Restore
Spanning Backup for Google Workspace comes with a 100% restore guarantee and supports both point-in-time restore and granular, search-based restore. Moreover, with Spanning users can self-service their restore, with a few clicks, without depending on the IT department. “It’s really simple, the user just needs to access the Spanning app from within their Gmail screen and then click restore. They can select the drive, and a point in time from when they want to restore their data. It’s that easy,” Steve says.
“Spanning’s backup solution really freed up our time to deliver services at the speed at which the pharmaceutical industry demands. — STEVE SIMMONS, Director of IA, AMAG Pharmaceuticals”
The reliability and ease-of-use of Spanning has helped free up the time and effort of AMAG’s small tech department, known as “innovation architects” (IA). “Spanning backup solution really freed up the IA’s time to work with the business. We can pack quite a punch with a small team because we’re able to deliver services at the speed at which the pharmaceutical industry demands. The business really started looking at us more strategically because of this, so for us that was a really big win,” Steve says.
