Trondheim wanted new cloud-based tools, including email, video conferencing, collaboration, presentation and storage services, for its 15,000 employees to replace its on-premise Microsoft applications. The move was prompted by user behaviour. Many of the municipality\u2019s staff were using advanced digital tools in their free time at work and Villa noticed they were tired of sending emails back and forth without any access to real-time collaboration tools.&nbsp;The cloud services of both Microsoft and Google were assessed in the tendering process. Eventually, the three-year contract was awarded to Swedish cloud services provider Devoteam\u2019s Google G Suite (then Avalon Solutions and Google Apps for Work), with Trondheim citing functionality, quality, price and the ability to deliver as key reasons for its decision.&nbsp;According to Villa, the actual cloud migration was straightforward. In mid-December last year, a selected number of emails were transferred overnight and the rest of the municipality\u2019s 65 million emails were gradually transferred over the next month. The most significant challenge arose from the maintenance of the municipality\u2019s own Active Directory, he said.&nbsp;A crucial element in the move has been employees\u2019 enthusiastic response to the new tools, said Villa. Before the cloud deployment, he and his IT team were looking for internal \u201cGoogle guides\u201d, volunteers who would be trained to guide their colleagues through the cloud transition. In two days, the municipality received more than 450 applications for the roles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read the full article&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.computerweekly.com\/news\/450428517\/Norways-Trondheim-embraces-the-cloud-with-Google-G-Suite\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From ComputerWeekly.com:&nbsp;
