Case Study: City of Chicago achieves improved collaboration and major cost savings with Microsoft Office 365

The Windy City Teams with Microsoft on Cloud Strategy

The City of Chicago launched a new cloud strategy and needed to simplify its fragmented email environment. It planned to move 30,000 employees to Office 365 for cloud-based email and productivity, aiming to improve collaboration, strengthen security, and support mobile and desktop access.

Office 365 helped the City of Chicago consolidate three separate email systems into one cloud environment. The result was more than $1.3 million in savings over four years, an 80% decrease in cost per employee, and access to web-based Microsoft tools like Outlook, Word, OneNote, Excel, Lync, and PowerPoint.
