In this customer testimonial, Lasse Thompson, former information systems manager at Oxford University Innovation, explains why the organization chose Keepit to protect its Microsoft 365 data after moving to the cloud.  

Oxford University Innovation has unique backup and retention requirements due to its responsibility for safeguarding the university’s intellectual property and patents. With patents requiring up to 33 years of data retention, Keepit’s ability to offer 99-year retention was a critical factor in the decision.  

Lasse also highlights how Keepit stood out as the only provider at the time capable of backing up not just Office 365 email, but also SharePoint and early Microsoft Teams data. Capturing early conversations between academia and innovation teams is essential, as these records may later be required as legal evidence in patent challenges.  

This testimonial shows how Keepit delivers long-term, compliant, and reliable cloud backup for organizations managing highly sensitive and valuable data.
