Mitchell Shire Council Cloud Adoption Strategy

This case study outlines the strategic roadmap developed for Mitchell Shire Council (MSC) to facilitate their cloud adoption using Microsoft Azure. The document details the challenges faced by MSC, including the need for an IT infrastructure review to support their growth as one of Victoria’s fastest-growing municipalities. A cloud-first strategy was identified as essential for aligning with this growth, prompting the need for a comprehensive roadmap to justify the business case for migration. The outcome of this initiative included a detailed three-year cost analysis, which projected a 30% cost savings through the adoption of Microsoft Azure. The case study also highlights the engagement of CyberCX as a trusted partner, leveraging their expertise to create a vision for MSC that includes a cost model analysis, cloud architecture planning, and a strategic roadmap divided into three stages: now, next, and horizon. This structured approach aims to future-proof MSC's IT operations as they scale.
