Case Study: Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District achieves secure remote file access, data control, and seamless LDAP integration with FileCloud

Alberni-Clayoquot gets the right information in the right hands with FileCloud

The Alberni‑Clayoquot Regional District, a federation of municipalities on Vancouver Island serving over 30,000 residents, needed a modern way to give staff and external partners secure, easy access to a wide range of large and diverse files. Existing FTP-based approaches and disparate office formats didn’t meet expectations for user‑friendliness, cross‑device viewing, seamless integration with current file shares, or regulatory auditing — all while staying within budget.

The district deployed FileCloud to provide browser‑based remote access, server‑side OpenOffice and Microsoft Office Mobile integration for viewing and editing, and Outlook sharing. FileCloud tied into LDAP/Active Directory with SSO, preserved existing file‑share security, and delivered detailed audits for compliance. The result was simple, secure cross‑device access, better data control and privacy, leveraged IT investments, and a cost‑effective solution backed by responsive support.
