New Solution Helps City Strengthen IT Security, Automate Software Distribution

Overview

As part of an ongoing effort to operate more efficiently, the City of Tampere wants to make more information and services available online while strengthening IT security. Additionally, the city wants to better manage its systems using limited IT resources. In 2007, Tampere made plans to upgrade 6,500 client computers to the Windows Vista operating system, and it began deploying the Windows Server 2008 Enterprise operating system on test servers. The city also decided to implement a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to help protect information that is exchanged across applications, internal networks, and the Internet.
