Brighton & Hove City Council is moving its IT infrastructure onto a single network that will provide Microsoft software for all its 4,500 staff.
The council previously had a number of disparate servers and IT systems including a Lotus Notes email system and Novell networking technology.
The move will save money and make life easier for IT staff, said Chris Reynolds, IT project manager at the council.
"The Microsoft migration project is retiring older servers and giving staff access to much larger, and totally sharable network resources," he said.
"This will offer new possibilities with regard to sharing information across teams and business areas.”
Staff will be using Microsoft Exchange, Office and Windows products.
The migration was undertaken with the help of consultancy NEC Philips.
