The Challenge
The City of Tampere, Finland’s largest inland city, faced the immense task of balancing strict regulatory requirements with the need to modernize its IT infrastructure. Before the transformation, the city relied on on-premises systems, which struggled to handle the complexities of managing data for over 340,000 residents across nine municipalities.
With diverse public services ranging from urban planning to healthcare, the city needed a more agile and secure solution. Compliance with Finnish regulations required all documentation in the local language, local support for seamless operations, and strict data residency and ownership to align with the city’s standards.
The Goal
The City of Tampere sought to transition from on-premises to a private cloud infrastructure. The aim was to meet strict regulatory requirements, ensure data control, and enable advanced operational tools. Crucially, they wanted to enhance resource transparency and efficiency while safeguarding resident data.
