Case Study: County of Sacramento achieves secure, county-wide access and seamless collaboration with Kiteworks

kiteworks deemed communications and collaboration standard across County departments, replacing Dropbox and other consumer solutions

The County of Sacramento, serving nearly 2 million residents across 30+ departments, faced a pressing need to replace insecure consumer file-sharing tools like Dropbox with a single, countywide solution. Leaders required a platform that prioritized security (including on‑premise/private cloud deployment), provided seamless access to content in systems like SharePoint without a VPN, and enabled true collaboration for field staff and interagency projects.

The County selected kiteworks (Accellion) to meet those needs. kiteworks syncs documents, photos, videos and forms across devices, integrates with SharePoint, and keeps data in-house while supporting offline and mobile use. Since deployment in 2014 it’s been adopted by 1,400+ users across departments (e.g., Water Resources, Sanitation, Animal Care, Environmental Management), delivering stronger security and compliance, faster collaboration with partners, and improved productivity.
