Chicago Signs Four-Year Services Deal With Microsoft

In an effort to modernize the city of Chicago's digital infrastructure, Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced today that he has signed a four-year deal with Microsoft to help improve the city's office operations while saving over $400,000 per year. The newly adopted “cloud strategy” includes email and desktop applications, and over 30,000 employees across the city's departments are expected to use them. Previously used email systems posed a few challenges and security risks, so the city is consolidating three of its systems into one. This way, outages will be reduced and security is improved.
