Case Study: Allerdale Borough Council simplifies processes with Workspace 365

How Allerdale simplifies processes with the digital workplace

Allerdale Borough Council, a district council in the UK, faced significant IT challenges due to severe weather disruptions and the sudden shift to remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic. Their existing on-premises systems and multiple access points hindered employee productivity and efficient remote access, prompting a search for a robust solution. They turned to vendor Workspace 365 for its digital workplace platform.

The solution from Workspace 365 consolidated access to multiple applications into a single, user-friendly portal featuring Single Sign-On. It streamlined document management and internal communications, centralizing information to save employees time. The implementation was met with highly positive feedback for its ease of use and was so successful that Workspace 365 is now the preferred platform for supporting an upcoming merger with other local councils.
