The challenge

  • Citizens navigated 42 disparate portals with inconsistent UX.
  • Legacy systems were inaccessible to users with disabilities.
  • Agency staff duplicated data entry across siloed backends.

How we approached it

  • Designed a shared component library certified against WCAG 2.2 AA.
  • Built a service-orchestration layer over legacy systems.
  • Ran co-design sessions with citizens and accessibility advocates.

What changed

  • Citizen satisfaction scores up 46 points post-launch.
  • 42 services now accessible from a single sign-on portal.
  • Agency staff hours saved: 24,000 in the first year.
