The Metropolitan Police Service in London required easily accessible email for extra police officers during the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. To avoid costly capital expenditure on its existing infrastructure, the Met wanted to quickly provision these users and then remove the service when no longer required. Microsoft recommended the Office 365 platform with Microsoft Exchange Online to give mutual aid officers a secure temporary email address that could be decommissioned after the Games, with no requirement to implement any new hardware or systems on-premises.
