Client Profile

Launched in 2010, Air Lease Corporation is an aircraft leasing company based in Los Angeles, California, with airline customers worldwide. They engage in purchasing commercial aircraft and lease them to partners worldwide through customized aircraft leasing and financing solutions.

The company wanted to implement SharePoint to create a more cohesive Microsoft 365 environment. They were also keen to move away from iManage after 10 years due to its limited adoption across their business and restrictive external support.

Air Lease chose Proventeq because of our experience in data migration and the advanced capabilities of our Migration Accelerator tool, which has enabled seamless migration for several clients. Our team designed a tailored migration plan which minimized business disruption, ensuring a successful transition.

Air Lease's Unique Challenges

Air lease Challenges
Complex document
management system

Managing large size of unstructured and complex data across iManage frustrated our client about the potential disruption of the migration project. They required comprehensive analysis to discover and address any potential issues ahead of the roll-out.

Inefficient internal
support systems

The company’s legacy system was limited in modern functionalities, which made them rely on external services for support. This was costly with restricted control over the services, leading to delays in business operations.

Limited reporting capabilities

Air Lease lacked inbuilt advanced reporting features in their legacy system, and this limited them from gaining insights to make better decisions.

Inconsistent metadata

Our client had errors in their metadata, making it difficult to retain dates associated with document reviews.
This impacted data security and compliance standards.

Proventeq's Solution

Discovery & analysis

Content Insights' drill-down discovery reports and pre-migration checks helped to identify and remove any potential data errors from their source system before migrating to the SharePoint.

Cloud office implementation

Our team implemented SharePoint features and integrated Microsoft 365 tools to support the company's operations internally, eliminating the need to rely on costly external services.

Power BI integration

Power BI, a part of Microsoft 365 tools, was integrated and connected to our client's data sources, including Excel, SQL Servers, SharePoint, cloud services, and APIs to enhance data analysis and reporting for decision-making.

Retaining metadata

Air Lease wanted to retain metadata for document creation and modification dates. Our team customized SharePoint's information architecture with taxonomy and metadata, while enabling advanced security features to ensure data security and compliance.

The Results

Achieved cost efficiency with Microsoft 365

The company relies on Microsoft 365 internally for all its content management needs, including automating workflows, building intranets, enhancing team collaboration and improving search capabilities in SharePoint, cutting external service costs by 30%.

Advanced reporting for decision-making

The reporting functionalities in Microsoft 365, powered by Power BI integration, provided Air Lease with valuable data insights to drive better decision-making through dynamic dashboards with customizable charts, graphs and KPIs.

Enhanced security & compliance

Consolidating, transforming and migrating documents in full fidelity into SharePoint enabled our client to achieve accurate metadata, maintain strict security protocols and meet compliance standards through Microsoft's advanced security features.

Finding a partner to meet our specific needs was difficult until Proventeq. Their migration tools and proven success met our advanced metadata inheritance requirements.
