Case Study: Otorohanga District Council achieves cloud-based agility and remote working with MAGIQ Software

Otorohanga District Council - Customer Case Study

Otorohanga District Council, a small New Zealand local government serving about 3,000 residents with 40+ staff and a $15m annual budget, needed simpler, low‑maintenance IT systems because it had limited capacity to manage on‑premise software. As a long‑time user of MAGIQ Software, the Council sought a cloud solution to reduce infrastructure overhead, enable field access for staff and make deployment and uptake across the organisation easier—choosing MAGIQ Software’s MAGIQ Cloud Platform.

MAGIQ Software migrated the Council’s finance, administration, business performance and document management systems to the MAGIQ Cloud Platform as a SaaS solution. The move delivered faster, more cost‑effective operations, reduced capital expenditure on on‑premise infrastructure, real‑time field updates (inspections and timesheets), and allowed a swift transition to a fully remote workforce during the pandemic with minimal service disruption—benefits achieved with hands‑on implementation and go‑live support from MAGIQ Software.
