Advocacy and Resource Center IT Modernization Case Study

This case study details the Advocacy and Resource Center (ARC) in Clinton County's transition from an on-premises infrastructure to a cloud-based Windows 365 environment. The primary objective was to enhance security and operational efficiency. Ed Mason, the Director of Business Development & IT, outlined the need for a solution that would improve security at both the cloud and endpoint levels while being easy to install and manage. ARC selected IGEL's Secure Endpoint OS Platform for its robust security features and ease of management. The deployment was facilitated by ARC’s internal IT team and was completed smoothly across multiple locations. The implementation resulted in enhanced cybersecurity defenses, including multi-factor authentication and real-time monitoring. Additionally, ARC reported significant cost savings of 15-20% and a reduction in IT workload, allowing staff to focus on other priorities. Overall, the transition was characterized by proactive planning and positive operational outcomes.
