More than doubling the original estimate of
websites going live during the pilot year
Colorado Interactive dba Colorado.gov and the Colorado Statewide
Internet Portal Authority (SIPA) have spent the 2014 year migrating
agency partners’ websites to a new Drupal CMS platform.
During the pilot year, an average of five partners per quarter
opted to move to the Colorado.gov Drupal platform. Due to the
simplicity of setting up new websites, additional partners quickly
reached out to Colorado.gov and SIPA requesting inclusion in the
2014 schedule.
“During this first year of migrating our partners’ websites onto
our Pacific platform, Colorado.gov and SIPA committed to migrating
20 agency websites. We are very excited to report that 38 partners
have been migrated to date,” said Fred Sargeson, general manager at
Colorado.gov. “We have exceeded expectations and are on target to
see 12 additional websites launched in 2014.”
Drupal offers features and functionality surpassing the current
Fatwire CMS in use by Colorado.gov. In addition, it enables state
agencies to distribute information for public consumption at no
cost to their organizations or constituents.
“SIPA and Colorado.gov oversee more than 200 websites and have
seen tremendous growth with the move to Drupal,” said Gregg Rippy,
executive director at SIPA. “We are excited to be able to offer
this free service to local and state governments in Colorado. We
anticipate more governments wanting to create or redesign their
websites on Colorado.gov as a result of this improved
platform.”
