Summary The city of Zottegem, Belgium, wanted to deliver high-quality services to its citizens, but its email infrastructure struggled to cope with the growing demand to communicate directly and efficiently with the public. Backup and security were unreliable, storage limited, and the IT staff was bogged down with manual chores. To avoid high costs and maintenance, the city wanted to use cloud technology, and in 2013, Zottegem adopted Microsoft Office 365. Now the city can provide its employees with new ways to communicate online from anywhere on any device, with automatic updates, backups, and security, for a fixed monthly fee instead of high infrastructure and maintenance costs.
