User-friendly, flexible, and government-approved

CDS is a proud Umbraco Gold Partner from the UK and they believe that Umbraco is ''the perfect choice for any forward-thinking public sector organization looking to move to a new CMS''. They love using Umbraco for building public sector solutions, and they’ve gathered 5 reasons why it’s the perfect fit for them: 

1. It’s free to use and scalable 

Umbraco is a free-of-charge, open-source CMS that offers public sector organizations a blank canvas to create a website without compromise. It can be scaled to fit your needs whether you’re using it to build a website for a nationally available service, a local or unitary authority, or anything in between. 

2. It’s user-friendly for visitors and staff

Umbraco is a breeze for website editors and friendly for visitors. The backoffice tools allow content designers to communicate quickly and users to easily navigate and access the information they need.

3. It’s flexible for developers

Umbraco offers developers a nearly limitless set of possibilities and options. Whether you need to standardize the look and feel of your website's content, integrate with third-party solutions, or manage mobile applications, Umbraco headless CMS options have your back. 

4. It’s cloud-ready and secure

Umbraco Cloud is a SaaS offering that removes the need to manage your servers and ensures you are always running the most up-to-date and secure version of the software. Additionally, by moving to Cloud you’ll automatically get all your TLS certificates updated and maintained for free.

5. It’s government-approved

One of the key features of Umbraco is that all Cloud services are G-Cloud compliant and available on the government procurement service. (G-Cloud is a UK Government program to encourage the adoption of cloud solutions across the public sector.)

Umbraco is a favorite among editors

Our Danish Gold Partner, Eksponent, also chooses to use Umbraco CMS to build their public sector projects. They deliver solutions to numerous Danish ministries and municipalities, such as The Prime Minister’s Office (Statsministeriet), The Ministry of Taxation (Skatteministeriet), and The Ministry of Employment (Beskæftigelsesministeriet).

See what Emil Hjordt Jensen, Partner at Eksponent, says about using Umbraco for their public sector solutions:

''In our experience, our public sector clients have a clear business focus on getting the best product for the price based on their exact needs. That’s when Umbraco is the preferred choice.

Umbraco fits very well with our clients existing infrastructure, it provides good integration opportunities, and the solution architecture isn't dictated by license structures. 

Also, Umbraco is very easy to use and a favorite amongst the editors. Those are some of the factors to why we are seeing Umbraco being used widely across the public sector.''
