Marsala Town Council In Italy Offers Advanced Services to Its Citizens With Red Hat Solutions
Solution: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
The municipality of Marsala in Italy is responsible for 85,000 citizens and operates with about 1,000 employees. To simplify administration procedures, the citizens of the town are offered several free online services - those relating to the registry office, town planning, and electoral services.
The Marsala Town Council created its first computer-based infrastructure in 1981 and has since modified its IT structure several times. With increasing user numbers and the need for advanced resources, it looked for a solution to help control costs related to upgrading and maintenance without reducing the number of services available to its citizens. The Marsala Town Council saw significant cost reductions after migrating to Red Hat solutions. Its IT infrastructure experienced improved service performance levels too.
