Case StudiesGila County Web Site |
|
Situation
Gila County Government contacted Michael Covarrubias of iC Tek Solutions regarding their then current web site challenges. The web site was outdated and difficult to maintian within the agency.
|
|
After further evaluation of the current web site, iC Tek Solutions found that portions of the site had been developed in PHP with a MySQL database, and other protions were developed in Classic ASP with a MS SQL database and in some cases an Access database was used.
Due to the web site maintenance challenges the content on the site had not been updated resulting in important information not being relayed the citizens of Gila County. In addition there was no content approval process for the different departments within the agency.

|
The Solution
Developers of iC Tek Solutions determined that the best solution would be to implement a Content Management System that would have an automated approval process.
iC Tek Solutions developers designed and implemented an in-house Content Management System that was object oriented based and developed in the .Net 2.0 Framework (newest at the time) with a MS SQL 2005 database backbone. Making use of the .Net Framework allows Gila County Developers to develop .Net User Controls, register them with the CMS and use them within the scope of the website.
