Case Study: Baldwin City Kansas achieves simpler, cloud-based IT with Alexander Open Systems and Microsoft Exchange Online

Cloud-Based Technology Helps City of Baldwin Do More With Less

Baldwin City, Kansas, a small government organization with just one IT coordinator, needed to modernize an aging and fragmented IT environment while supporting both municipal and police department users. The city worked with Alexander Open Systems (AOS) to address performance, communication, and management challenges, including email administration across two separate networks and servers.

Alexander Open Systems (AOS) helped Baldwin City move to Microsoft Business Productivity Online Standard Suite, including Exchange Online and Office 365, as part of a broader virtualization and storage project. The migration was seamless, improved user experience with a merged global address book, reduced complexity and support burden, and provided more predictable costs and high availability without requiring the city to maintain Exchange infrastructure on site.
