In November 2010 Avalon Solutions helped them move employees and students from a Microsoft-based environment. Avalon Solutions has continued to work closely with Salem as a trusted adviser for cloud strategy and change management.
In 2010 Salem was faced with the choice of upgrading their existing solution, which would have been very costly, or move to a cloud based solution. After extensive evaluation of available solutions on the market, Salem municipality chose Google Apps. This was a step well aligned with their strategic decision to exchange existing on premise applications and services with innovative, cost efficient cloud based services by 2015.
