Unified Digital Governance: One State, One Platform, One Team with Drupal4Gov
Mark Colebank, the Senior Drupal Application Systems Specialist in the N.C. Department of Information Technology and a seasoned web developer with over 25 years of experience is leading an innovative initiative in North Carolina: "One State, One Platform, One Team." The ambitious project aims to consolidate 80 state agency websites under a single Drupal 10 multisite platform. Over the past four years, Colebank and the NCDIT Digital Solutions team have focused on cost savings, standardization, and efficiency, making significant strides in streamlining website development without relying on external vendors.
The Drupal4Gov initiative stands out for its remarkable achievement of slashing initial costs for individual state agencies and achieving substantial savings in hosting expenses through AWS. Colebank emphasizes the importance of standardization in maintaining a robust and cost-effective system, urging agencies to resist the temptation of custom development. This success positions North Carolina as a trailblazer in digital governance, offering a replicable model for other states seeking to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and deliver a unified online experience.
