Helping Reading Borough Council realise the benefits of cloud migration
Agilisys worked in collaboration with Reading Borough Council to deliver a cloud migration, using our tried and tested Delivery Framework developed over 30+ cloud migrations.
Through this programme, Agilisys built a hybrid cloud platform for Reading Borough Council (RBC) that will play an important role in helping the Council realise its Digital Futures strategy. As a result, all RBC business applications were migrated to Azure with a small number of legacy servers moved to a Crown Hosting Data Centre (CHDC) based IaaS platform and co-location facility.
At a glance
- RBC was exiting a longstanding ICT outsource with a third-party provider
- Services were being broken up into number of towers
- Reading wanted to move from a private IaaS platform to a hybrid cloud to achieve cost savings
- Agilisys built a hybrid cloud platform for RBC in line with the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework and 14 Cloud Security Principles
- The RBC estate was rationalised, with over 80 servers decommissioned, and not migrated, thereby reducing timescales and cost
