As a current state employee, I've seen the insane bureaucracy we have to battle just to redesign one internal site. I would love to know how they did this. Are these contractors? Is it a seperate team? Is the redesign rolling out across all government departments? What is their CMS? Oh man, I need details. If you were involved with this at all, please contact me...
