Scalable Digital Content Management System for Complex Policy Libraries

The organization faces difficulty in efficiently managing, updating, and providing accessible, comprehensive policy data across multiple jurisdictions and categories. The existing system is unwieldy, relies on scattered tools like documents and spreadsheets, and hampers timely updates and accurate dissemination, especially during periods of rapid regulatory change or crisis response.

A large government agency or non-profit organization responsible for managing and disseminating extensive policy and regulatory content related to specialized subjects requiring accurate, up-to-date information and stakeholder engagement.
