With more than 700 users relying on the environment each day, the municipality needed a future-proof solution that would reduce operational pressure while strengthening reliability and security.

Following a formal procurement process, Berkelland chose the combined expertise of Uniserver and PQR. Their long-standing collaboration in delivering hybrid cloud solutions aligned seamlessly with the municipality’s needs. Together, they implemented a modern hybrid cloud environment: a stable private cloud for core services, complemented by public cloud capabilities for specialised needs. This approach gives Berkelland the best of both worlds: Flexibility and scalability without relinquishing control over data or applications, ensuring continued compliance with strict public-sector regulations.

The migration itself was a joint effort. PQR led the consultancy and project management, while Uniserver provided the robust and secure cloud platform. Despite initial challenges, the project was completed within ambitious timelines thanks to the close collaboration between all parties. The result is a reliable, flexible Infrastructure-as-a-Service platform that meets the demands of a modern municipal organisation.

For Berkelland’s IT team, the impact has been significant. Daily operational burdens such as updates, monitoring and security tasks are now handled by the cloud environment, allowing the team to focus on supporting the organisation and responding to business needs. The municipality benefits from a secure, scalable infrastructure that reduces risk, improves continuity, and positions them strongly for future digital developments.

The collaboration between Berkelland, PQR and Uniserver demonstrates how hybrid cloud can address the structural challenges faced by many municipalities. With a stable and secure foundation in place, Berkelland can look ahead with confidence, knowing its IT environment is equipped for the long term.
