On May 14, 2018 it became known that the Shiseido Rus company transferred mail to LanCloud cloud.

At the Russian office "Shiseido" more than 100 employees who actively use e-mail in the business correspondence work. The long period the company used own mail service based on Exchange Server 2007 which support Microsoft stopped in 2017 that imposed risks on further safe operation. Besides, the shortage of free disk space limited mailboxes of users with a capacity no more than 1 GB that there was insufficiently for normal work.

The task of transition to more suitable version of the mail server and also significant increase in the size of mailboxes was set. After cost estimation on acquisition of own equipment, the software, work on migration and further service, the decision to use cloud services was made. Shiseido considered several suppliers of cloud services, including and acquisition of a mail service directly from Microsoft. But the cloud service of Cloud Exchange from LanCloud was as a result selected. First, the DPC of LanCloud is located in the Russian Federation, in compliance with FZ-242 concerning personal data, secondly, LanCloud proposed the solution taking into account requirements of business of the company. LanCloud performed migration of users from the old Exchange 2007 mail server in Cloud Exchange without workflow violation.

"In a transition project deliverable, mailboxes of 100 GB in size and more user-friendly and available web interface are provided to users. At the same time purchase of servers and disk arrays for placement of mail bases and their backup copies was not required".[1] A.N. Toropov, financial administrative director of Shiseido Rus LLC
