PRESSRELEASE:
Strängnäs municipality, like many other municipalities, has sensitive data that for various reasons is not suitable for storage in foreign systems. When the municipal audit needed a mobile tool to store, share and collaborate on files, the choice fell on Swedish Storegate.
– Procuring cloud services is more than just saving money. In addition to creating an efficient and modern way of working for employees, it is also important to comply with current and future legislation, says Mats Lange, procurement officer at Strängnäs municipality. “We soon realized that there was a lot of uncertainty about what the legislation will look like over time, especially with regard to GDPR, the CLOUD Act and eSam’s expert opinion on the use of cloud services in the public sector,” says Mats.
Strängnäs not alone, high demand from public sector
– We have many requests from the public sector right now. They realize they don’t have time to keep their staff waiting for legislation to catch up. According to industry analysts, it could take up to 12 years before new legislation is in place. At the same time, users are clamoring for modern work tools,” says Torbjörn Lindkvist, Business Area Manager at Storegate AB.
Storegate is driven by being able to meet today’s and tomorrow’s needs for secure data storage in Sweden and all development takes place on its own platform.
