Case Study: City of Orlando achieves $200,000 annual savings with Infosys Public Services and Google Apps

A year later, Google Apps is saving money, time and headaches for city employees

The City of Orlando needed to replace an aging, unsupported e-mail system that was costly to maintain, lacked modern features, and no longer met the needs of city employees. Orlando worked with vendor Infosys Public Services to evaluate cloud alternatives, ultimately seeking a more secure, flexible, and cost-effective solution.

Infosys Public Services helped Orlando implement Google Apps and Google Postini Services, migrating the city in just over two months. The new cloud-based platform improved e-mail storage and mobile access, added security and filtering capabilities, and introduced collaboration tools like Google Docs and internal sites. Orlando expects to save $200,000 annually, while also reducing maintenance burdens, eliminating spam-filtering appliances, and improving communication and productivity across departments.
