The migration of financial data, which involved approx 490,000 accounting documents, took place in just 5 days, thus limiting the blocking of activities to a minimum. At the same time, an ad hoc environment was implemented to streamline, speed up and automate transactions via pagoPA which, due to the new provisions that require a separate payment of Tari and Tefa, must be managed directly by the Metropolitan City of Milan. In three months, 500,000 transactions were managed, relating to the area of ​​the Municipality of Milan alone, and it is estimated that they could become around 3 million with the progressive integration of payments from other municipalities in the province.

In fact, not only the offices that deal with accounting and finance benefit from the advantages of the solution, but everyone, thanks to the introduction of new innovative and transversal working methods for the various functions. This process of evolution and innovation is taking place thanks to a virtuous public-private partnership created with the Metropolitan City of Milan which has wisely invested in a cloud solution that improves internal processes».
