Cook County Board of Review - Website Replatform

Clarity Partners provided services for the Cook County Board of Review (BOR) to re-platform and execute the CMS version upgrade of the BOR website. The primary objective of the engagement was twofold. Objective one was to execute a platform shift from Amazon Web Services to Acquia Cloud Site Factory. Objective two was a major CMS version upgrade from Drupal v7.x (current) to Drupal v9.x, utilizing Acquia Site Studio. This re-platform and CMS transition to Drupal 9.x also required a major rebuild of the site. The mandate was to perform a base “lift and shift” of the existing website to the extent practical and possible. Clarity worked with the Bureau of Technology and the BOR to navigate the rebuild through the launch of an updated website. As a result of this upgrade, BOR can now mitigate risk by keeping the websites they support on current software releases. It also allows for enhanced page building flexibility by leveraging Acquia Site Studio.
