Case Study: Alingsås Municipality achieves fast, unified access to 40,000 documents and improved collaboration with Alfresco

Alingsås Municipality - Customer Case Study

Alingsås Municipality, a local government authority in western Sweden serving about 38,000 citizens, faced slow and fragmented access to its electronic information: documents were scattered across multiple network drives and an outdated document management system, making it hard for staff to find and share policies, procedures and project materials. To boost workplace productivity and enable cross‑departmental collaboration, the municipality sought a single, user‑friendly repository and a modern intranet to replace legacy systems.

They selected Alfresco for its open‑standards, ease of use and future ECM capabilities, and Redpill Linpro completed migration and Drupal integration in three months. Today Alfresco manages ~40,000 documents for 2,500 users, provides fast, secure search and a unified structure, delivers cost savings through greater staff efficiency, and supports collaboration for ~200 project users — with plans to extend access to external stakeholders such as schools.
