Helly Hansen has officially announced that it’ll make the move to Office 365 as the company’s communication and social platform.

The Scandinavian outdoor brand that currently has 350 full-time employees on five different continents hopes to cut costs with Office 365, but also to improve communication and collaboration between its employees.

“After switching to Office 365, employees immediately enjoyed having fast and familiar email with increased storage and the ability to share information via SharePoint Online. Moreover, Lync Online has enabled them to instant message and video conference which has allowed the retail stores to provide feedback on visual displays to employees stationed in Oslo,” Microsoft said in a blog post.

According to Helly Hansen’s own findings, Lync Online’s communication features has already reduced travel costs by up to 15 percent.
