The client
A government body in Colorado. We worked through a local partner agency so there was someone on the ground for trust and quick communication.
The problem
A large document collection lived in a legacy system while memberships were managed somewhere else. Two systems, two logins, and constant confusion.
What we built
Library and membership merged into one searchable platform:
build / 1
Document management with real search
The full archive indexed in Elasticsearch. Decades of documents answer in under a second.
build / 2
One login for everything
The membership directory integrated with a single login. The two-system confusion ended on day one.
build / 3
An admin console the staff use
Dashboard, user and role management, and a UI matched to the client's own design standards.
what changed
$100k
saved over seven years in hosting and maintenance, with the whole membership using it within two months.
