Case Study: London Borough Council achieves secure Azure cloud migration and better citizen services with Cloudreach

Cloudreach Helps a London Borough Migrate to The Azure Cloud, Enabling Enhanced Citizen Services

The London Borough Council, a local government body serving over 268,000 residents, faced challenges in modernizing its digital services. Their legacy systems created a backlog for new application deployments and struggled to provide infrastructure quickly and securely. They engaged Cloudreach for a solution to create a secure, scalable Azure cloud landing zone that would improve accessibility and adhere to strict governance and security principles.

Cloudreach implemented a Microsoft Azure-based reference architecture and landing zone built with Infrastructure as Code and DevOps pipelines. This provided the Council with a secure, scalable foundation for hosting applications. The solution enabled the successful migration of key services, like their library application, and positioned them to deliver enhanced online citizen services with a goal of 100% uptime. Cloudreach's partnership also included extensive knowledge transfer and ongoing managed services, ensuring the Council could benefit from cloud agility and future cost optimization.
