Case Study: Comune di Catania achieves secure public data continuity with Microsoft Corporation Azure

Comune di Catania - Customer Case Study

Comune di Catania, the municipality serving more than 1 million people in Sicily, needed to better protect public information, improve service continuity, and comply with European data-handling regulations amid growing security threats. To address these challenges, it worked with Microsoft Corporation and Softiam using Microsoft Azure, Azure SQL Data Warehouse, and its existing SQL Server environment.

Microsoft Corporation helped Comune di Catania build a hybrid cloud solution with automated backup, simplified VPN connectivity, and controlled access to sensitive data. The result was stronger data protection, more reliable public records applications, lower IT maintenance and total cost of ownership, and improved continuity for municipal services, with the city also gaining a platform for future innovation.
