SECURELY ENABLE REMOTE WORKING WITHIN YOUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT
For local governments, mobile working is becoming more and more important. However, many cities and municipalities are bound by strict security measures on the one hand, and older software or infrastructure limits on the other.
MUNICIPALITIES’ CHALLENGES WITH MOBILE WORKING
Local governments often work with its citizens’ private data and need to therefore comply with a multitude of privacy and security regulations. However, because many of the specialized applications used within a municipality still need to be installed on a device, employees are stepping away from those measures in order to increase their productivity. Furthermore, it might be cumbersome to monitor the network of remote locations or of those that are working in the field.
USE OF LEGACY SOFTWARE
Many applications can only be accessed when they are installed on a managed device.
BOARD MEMBERS’ MOBILITY
Mayors and aldermen need to access sensitive data when they are working from home or on a remote location.
DATA SECURITY & GDPR
Data management and accessibility has to be as secure as possible, preferably with auditing possibilities.
EXTERNAL CONTRACTORS
Municipalities work together with a large amount of contractors, who all have their own specific IT needs.
LIMITED BUDGET
IT workers in local governments have to spend their limited budget wisely and heavily prioritize.

The Municipality of Gooise Meren lets staff work from home securely via Awingu
The Dutch Municipality of Gooise Meren (merged from Bussum, Naarden, Muiden and Muiderberg in 2016) is located in the Randstad, between Amsterdam, Utrecht, Amersfoort and Almere and has about 58,000 inhabitants. The municipality’s IT team was looking for a way to get their staff to work mainly from home, but they had some requirements: the solution had to be extremely secure , as accessible as possible and easy to manage. When their partner Lantech heard about this, they soon came up with Awingu – and it turned out to be a success story.
FLEXIBLE ACCESS TO ALL DOCUMENTS FOR THE MUNICIPALITY STAFF OF KNOKKE-HEIST

SIMPLE AND SECURE REMOTE WORKING AT THE MUNICIPALITY OF STABROEK
For its roughly 125 IT users, the municipality of Stabroek was looking for a way to let their aldermen, chiefs of staff and employees work from anywhere on any device. As they are a local government, and thus handling a lot of confidential data (such as the National Register), security is key within their IT environment. Awingu has proven to provide an answer to their challenges, and more.
