Cuyahoga County | Case Study
Cuyahoga County is a major municipality in the Cleveland, OH area that was using an outdated Sitefinity 9.x platform and was experiencing performance problems, security vulnerabilities, and a user experience that needed updating—to address this issue, Cuyahoga County sought to upgrade its Court of Appeals and County Intranet websites to the most recent Sitefinity 13.x version.
