Project Summary

Five Jars developed and launched a custom intranet for George Washington's Mount Vernon, building the platform on Drupal with a streamlined UI/UX, security features, and AWS media integration. The intranet reduced internal support requests and improved internal processes by centralizing information. The vendor delivered on time, is communicative, and continues to provide maintenance and support.

Five Jars deployed and hosted the intranet and provided ongoing technical maintenance and support during the launch period.
