Challenges
Brackley Town Council faced outdated systems reliant on a legacy Citrix solution, ageing hardware, and limited connectivity. These inefficiencies hindered staff productivity and effective collaboration, making it clear that a modernisation was essential to meet the demands of their growing community.
Approach
CloudyIT collaborated closely with the council’s staff and councillors through a series of detailed consultations. Together, we devised a comprehensive migration strategy to transition from Citrix to Microsoft 365. The plan addressed key requirements, including replacing old desktops, implementing the GovMeeting solution for streamlined agenda preparation and meeting management, and upgrading connectivity and Wi-Fi across all council sites.
The council also embraced CloudyIT’s tailored training programmes, enabling staff to leverage tools like Microsoft Planner to transform their workflow and enhance project management.
Outcomes
Brackley Town Council now operates on a robust, cloud-based Microsoft 365 platform, ensuring seamless collaboration and improved efficiency. GovMeeting has streamlined their administrative processes, saving time on preparing and managing agendas and minutes. Upgraded connectivity and Wi-Fi have improved access across sites, enabling a more connected and responsive council.
"Our transition to Microsoft 365 with CloudyIT has been transformative. The training sessions have empowered our team to modernise the way we work, particularly with tools like Microsoft Planner, which has revolutionised our project management."
– Kathy Hale, Deputy Town Clerk, Brackley Town Council
