Background
Hennepin County is made up of 45 cities and has a population of 1.2 million residents. The Hennepin County Attorney is Michael O. Freeman, who was first elected in 1990, serving until 1999. Mr. Freeman was elected again in 2006 and has been the County Attorney since that date. The Hennepin County Attorney's office represents the legal interests of Hennepin County. The office prosecutes criminals, advocates for victims, and provides support to Hennepin County children, families, and neighborhoods. The office is recognized as a superior public law office in the state and the employer of choise for those seeking a career in public law.
In 2013, High Monkey began a long-term consulting relationship with Hennepin County. The primary objective of that consulting agreement included rebuilding all of Hennepin County public facing websites. High Monkey provides expertise in the Sitecore CMS platform to the County and is leveraging Sitecore to provide a centrally managed CMS environment while using common design elements and standardized templates for County websites - all while allowing for unique branding for each County website. High Monkey also implemented the Coveo search platform - another standard used for all Hennepin County public-facing websties. High Monkey worked closely on this project with another of the County's consulting providers, Minneapolis-based Azul7. The creative team at Azul7 provided the design theme, graphical elements, HTML, and CSS while High Monkey delivered the Sitecore build, Coveo search implementation, functional and compliance testing, and implementation expertise.
