Organisation: Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council
Solution: Security / Mobility

Located in a leafy district between Birmingham, Warwick and Coventry, with acres of parks and greenbelt land, serving 200,000 residents and 4,000 businesses, Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council (Solihull) has developed a successful IT infrastructure to cope with the daily demands of its 5,000 employees. Needing to extend the service to give secure remote access to email, calendars, the intranet and applications to its staff and partners, Solihull worked with Eurodata to implement the e-Gap SSL VPN solution from Whale Communications. With its ease of use, flexible access, and security capabilities, the solution has allowed the council to race further down the road to e-Government.
