The Acronis #TeamUp program enables COOQIE to secure and protect Hockey Club Davos’ Microsoft 365 environment

Founded in 1921, Hockey Club Davos (HC Davos) is one of Switzerland’s most successful and recognizable ice hockey clubs. HC Davos has won a record 31 Swiss Championship titles and hosts the annual Spengler Cup competition, which it has won 17 times.
To ensure reliable IT services for a lean internal team, the club partnered with managed service provider (MSP) COOQIE, which delivers secure, cloud-first IT management across Microsoft 365 and Azure.

KEY CHALLENGES:

  • Limited in-house IT resources, with only one part-time IT administrator.
  • Legacy on-premises infrastructure requiring modernization.
  • Inadequate identity protection, including no multi-factor authentication (MFA) or conditional access.
  • Complex migration from a previous backup platform.

KEY REQUIREMENTS:

  • A trusted MSP to manage Microsoft 365, Azure and day-to-day IT security.
  • Modern cloud-based backup for Microsoft 365 data.
  • Stronger cyber protection through identity security, backup and future endpoint protection.
  • Responsive support for a business that depends on Microsoft 365 every day.

THE SOLUTION

COOQIE modernized HC Davos’ IT environment with Microsoft 365 and Acronis Cyber Platform, enhancing security and simplifying backup management. The team continues to manage Microsoft 365, Azure and cloud backup services.

THE IMPACT

  • A secure, fully managed Microsoft 365 environment.
  • Reliable cloud backup protecting critical business data.
  • Fast, expert support for staff whenever issues arise.
  • A scalable cybersecurity platform ready for future growth.
“We all depend on Microsoft 365. If it’s not working, we can’t work. When we make a call, they help us immediately.”
