San Francisco Migrates to Microsoft Office 365
The local governments of San Francisco City and San Francisco County will migrate to Microsoft Office 365. The cloud-based productivity suite, which includes Microsoft Office alongside a range of communication tools, will be used by the around 30,000 employees in all local government departments and agencies connected to the City and County. San Francisco has utilized Microsoft’s cloud-based email for several years and the transition to Microsoft Office 365 is a natural extension of its utilization of Microsoft solutions. The move will enable San Francisco departments and organizations to collaborate better and save costs. “The move to the cloud for state and local government organizations is proving its worth as better collaboration, improved productivity, increased cost savings, and enhanced access to information from anywhere are becoming both commonplace and expected,” explained Michael Donlan, Vice President, U.S. State and Local Government Microsoft Corp. on the Microsoft blog. “We are particularly excited about this transition and believe San Francisco will be the first city and county of its size to complete a Microsoft Office 365 for Government cloud transition in which each of the departments — including police and safety, as well as health — will be on one integrated platform,” added Marc Touitou, San Francisco’s the chief information officer.
