IBM Helps Honolulu Fast-Track a Technology Overhaul

When Mufi Hannemann took office as mayor of the City and County of Honolulu on January 2, 2005, he brought with him a deep appreciation for information technology- and a keen understanding of what technology could do for the citizens of Honolulu. They wanted to bring the city's IT infrastructure up to date after years of underfunding, including replacing critical systems that were up to 35 years old. They build a state-of-the-art IT infrastructure for Honolulu that included deploying new IBM hardware, upgrading to the latest technologies, and implementing a business continuity strategy.
