The Municipality of Weesp in the Netherlands lies 
close to Amsterdam, near to the Amsterdam-Rhine 
canal. With a population of approximately 17,500, 
this historic region is famous for its canals, chocolate, 
porcelain and windmills. Weesp delivers a wide 
range of services to the local population including 
culture and leisure, education, sport, health, housing, 
welfare, and environmental services. 
The Municipality of Weesp operates from a single site 
comprising an office building and an Information and 
Communications Technology (ICT) centre. To handle
