Case Study: Câmara Municipal de Cascais achieves digital culture change and modern workplace collaboration with Microsoft SharePoint

Câmara Municipal de Cascais - Customer Case Study

Câmara Municipal de Cascais, the municipal government of Cascais, Portugal, set out to modernize a historically paper‑based, compartmentalized administration into a digital government that delivers better services with fewer resources. Their challenges included enabling mobile and inclusive email access for field workers, improving team collaboration and accountability, and meeting strict security and compliance requirements.

They chose Microsoft Azure and Office 365 (Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, Yammer, Skype for Business, and Planner) to provide a cloud platform and productivity tools. The rollout gave all employees corporate email, about 500 field smartphones, a new SharePoint/Yammer intranet, 400 Skype for Business users, and 1,000 Planner users—improving productivity, accountability, secure compliance (including legal hold), and driving a lasting digital culture change that speeds delivery of services to citizens.
