The City of Regina, a Canadian provincial capital, sought to modernize its antiquated IT infrastructure to better serve its citizens and align with other major cities. To meet this challenge, they partnered with Microsoft and leveraged solutions including Microsoft Azure and Microsoft Office 365 to enhance city operations and enable new digital services.

The Microsoft solution delivered over $40,000 in upfront savings, a monthly hosting savings of $360, and reduced paper costs. It also empowered employees to be more efficient and provided citizens with convenient online services, fundamentally transforming the government's relationship with the community.
