Municipal government scaling IT security and digital infrastructure
Stadt Offenbach is a mid-sized German municipality with ~1,600 employees undertaking a digital transformation across healthcare, education, and public services. The tech stack is traditional enterprise (Cisco, Extreme Networks, Microsoft Office, QGIS, R) with active infrastructure work—WLAN expansion, RZ failover, network optimization—and a hiring acceleration toward security and IT roles (4 security positions open). Pain points cluster around vulnerability remediation, security solution evaluation, and process digitalization, signaling a shift from legacy infrastructure toward more secure, managed IT operations.
