Case Study: American Library Association achieves cloud-first agility and cost savings with BDO

American Library Association reduces costs and goes cloud-first with BDO

The American Library Association (ALA), a long-standing nonprofit, faced challenges with its aging on-premises infrastructure which posed operational risks and high costs. To enhance resilience and support a strategic shift to remote work, ALA engaged vendor BDO to plan and execute a cloud migration.

BDO implemented a solution by migrating ALA's workloads to Microsoft Azure, utilizing a Well-Architected Framework Landing Zone and Microsoft endpoint technologies. This shift eliminated hardware upgrade and commercial lease expenses, reduced overhead costs, and transitioned the organization to an operational expenditure model. BDO's solution provided ALA with a scalable, agile cloud foundation that directly supports its mission-driven goals.
