The Situation

On the chopping block

For martial arts instructors, student wellbeing is the number one priority. Everything else comes second. For BMS, this meant not only taking care of each student’s body, mind, and spirit, but also taking care of confidential student data. Initially, BMS was using Dropbox, but that put their data at risk, as it wasn’t protected by Canada’s data privacy laws and regulations. To stay safer, they switched to Sync. "Once we heard about Sync, we immediately made the switch!" said BMS founder and Sensei Louis Rossi. Sync kicked up their wellbeing a notch.

The Solution

Spar-king success

The switch to Sync provided immediate peace of mind. With enterprise-grade security, PIPEDA compliance, and Canadian data residency built-in, all of BMS dojo’s confidential documents and files are safer in the cloud. "We love that Sync is a Canadian company, because we now feel truly safe in the cloud," Rossi said.

Sync also gives BMS a huge productivity boost. Sync’s team folders feature makes it easy for everyone on the team to access company files from one centralized location. From franchise documents to meeting notes to training sessions, their files are right where they need to be, and easily shareable in an instant. "Sync is our one-stop-shop for everything. We had to shut down operations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Reopening and setting things up again was so easy with Sync," Rossi explained.

The Outcome

A black belt in cloud storage

Karate is all about focus and discipline. With Sync providing a disciplined approach to data storage, BMS has even more time to focus on delivering the best possible client experience. "We love getting to introduce the benefits of martial arts to everyone and seeing our students’ wellbeing improve because of it!"
