Işık Mühendislik’s operations were generating a steadily growing volume of project, technical, and correspondence data, while email had become a core channel for both internal collaboration and customer communication. The existing backup infrastructure was difficult to manage at scale, while email services lacked the security, continuity, and centralized governance required for modern engineering operations. Risks around data loss, downtime, and email-borne threats were rising, and the IT team needed a more secure, centralized, and operationally efficient foundation to support business continuity.
Technological Approach
Cloud-Based Backup Infrastructure
A cloud-native backup solution was deployed to centralize protection of business-critical data. Backup jobs, retention policies, and recovery workflows were standardized so that IT had a single, manageable layer for safeguarding the company’s most important assets — without relying on fragmented local routines.
Microsoft 365 & Exchange Online Email
Email was modernized on Exchange Online within Microsoft 365, giving the organization a stable, scalable, and continuously available email service. Mailboxes, distribution, and collaboration were brought onto a single, cloud-managed platform.
Advanced Security & Manageability
Layered security and management tooling was configured to protect users and data across email and identity. Together with the new backup foundation, this gave the IT team meaningful control over their security posture and a clear, auditable view of operations.
Planned Migration & Active Support
The project began with a detailed planning and needs-analysis phase, was executed as an uninterrupted migration, and transitioned smoothly into active monitoring and support after go-live — keeping operations stable through every step.
Centralized, secure backup for critical data
Mission-critical engineering and business data is now protected by a centralized, cloud-based backup model with reliable recovery.
99% email continuity
Exchange Online delivered a sustained ~99% availability for the company’s email service, removing previous continuity risks.
Reduced operational management load
A single, cloud-managed platform replaced the day-to-day overhead of running fragmented systems, freeing IT capacity for higher-value work.
Stronger business continuity & security
Combined with advanced email security, the new infrastructure measurably strengthened the company’s resilience against data loss and email-based threats.
