## Protecting a Critical State Contract with Compliant Cloud and DRaaS

 ![Three colleagues reviewing a document together at a desk]()

An industry-leading tax software company and long-standing Expedient client won a major state contract but quickly faced pressure to deliver compliant hosting environment and disaster recovery (DR) capabilities. The contract required validated DR testing and compliance documentation that were not yet in place, putting revenue and customer confidence at risk. An Azure migration would have blown up the budget and timeline. Instead, Expedient rapidly deployed a scalable hosted infrastructure with managed services and DR. The successful rollout helped the client keep the contract on track and reinforced their credibility with the state.
