Our Approach
The State of Iowa had an online issue that required a multi-layered solution, which was where our technological innovation came to the fore; Needing a platform where, through resources and services created for employers, employees, and the unemployed, Iowans could take control of their economic future and the security of their families, the need was for development and integration.
Appnovation worked with the team a the Iowa Workforce Development to developed a Winter Utility Support Program, while also demonstrating a Drupal/Alfresco integrated site that would streamline their processes and workflow. With this done, the Drupal/Alfresco integration was on the starting blocks, and ready to redress the technology issues with a digital solution delivery.
Customer Outcome
