Challenges

As Ottawa County embraced digitization, it experienced exponential data growth that stressed storage capacity, budget, and resources. Each department had its own dedicated storage and backup, making it difficult and costly to fund capacity increases. System performance degraded as data volumes grew, and the rising threat of ransomware and data loss put the county at risk, as demonstrated by the catastrophic data loss in a neighboring county.
