Transforming infrastructure by adopting next generation private cloud.
Project Summary
Midlothian Council has taken a transformational step on its digital journey by adopting next generation private cloud platform provided by NG-IT.
Setting the Scene
Midlothian Council is one of the 32 local authorities of Scotland. Its administrative centre is based in Dalkeith and it covers an area from the south of Edinburgh to the Borders.
The Challenge
The council’s legacy infrastructure had grown organically and was no longer a suitable platform to deliver ever expanding business services. With the increasing demands of doing more with less, the council needs to provide improved services whilst also reducing costs.
