Last updated: 15 Sep 2023

The agency’s challenge

A large federal government agency had multiple sites, including a public-facing website built on GovCMS(Opens in a new tab/window) Drupal 7. With Drupal 7 coming to end-of-life, the agency needed a new GovCMS site built on Drupal 9. Note: The agency can’t be named for security reasons.
