Case Study: Sunderland City Council achieves cloud-driven transformation with Cloud Pro

Sunderland cloud implementation points the way for local councils

Sunderland City Council faced the challenge of replacing lost industrial jobs and driving economic recovery through technology, while modernizing a complex IT environment. With support from Cloud Pro, the council pursued a cloud transformation using virtualized desktops and a strategic partnership approach to help power its new digital vision.

Cloud Pro helped Sunderland City Council assess usage, reduce unnecessary hardware and applications, and move toward automated, self-service cloud delivery for staff and partners. The result was a clearer application portfolio, cost savings from decommissioned resources, and progress toward a basic service catalogue and future cloud offerings such as platform and infrastructure as a service.
