Interactive has helped the City of Port Phillip through a digital transformation — migrating the council’s legacy systems from a heritage-listed site to a secure, scalable cloud environment.
Situated in Melbourne Victoria, the City of Port Phillip has faced several challenges maintaining IT infrastructure within the physical limitations of a 100-year-old building.
When a critical environmental risk was found in the council’s on-premises server room, just metres from mission-critical racks, Port Phillip’s IT leadership recognised an urgent need to modernise.
The City of Port Phillip was looking for a solution, all while knowing structural changes were not an option. This was because if the city’s racks went down, its operations – including more than 100 community services – would be brought to a standstill.
Interactive delivered a two-phased migration strategy that combined speed, stability and forward-looking design.
Over a three-month period — Interactive relocated the council’s systems to a secure colocation facility, completing the migration over weekends to ensure no interruption to public-facing services.
