Modernizing the Public Sector with Liferay DXP 

Create digital-first, engaging interactions while maintaining public sector requirements for security, privacy, and data sovereignty.

  • Reduce wait times. Let citizens complete common tasks – like renewing permits, accessing records, or reporting concerns – online. No more driving between offices or getting stuck on hold.
  • Deliver customized journeys. Offer relevant news, announcements, and tailored search results, while recommending related content and services that make citizens feel understood and supported. For example, a person who recently applied for food assistance might see a personalized homepage banner suggesting additional financial aid or unemployment programs.
  • Encourage engagement and feedback. Create channels for citizens to provide input, join surveys, and communicate directly with government or community teams. 

Focus on citizens and cut through red tape by making critical services easily accessible from a single hub.

  • Permit or license applications. Enable citizens to submit and track permit applications through a single interface instead of hunting down different departments.
  • Traffic violation resolution. Offer online options to pay fines, register for traffic school, or request hearings without visits to the courthouse, police, or motor verhicle departments.
  • Service cancellation after the passing of a loved one. Simplify life’s most difficult moments by letting citizens end multiple services on behalf of close family – such as pensions, passports, or utilities – with one submission.

Operate smarter while serving citizens and employees better.

  • Empower self-service. Allow citizens to submit service requests, schedule appointments, or apply for permits without calling or emailing your staff.
  • Reduce IT backlogs. Let employees create pages, onboard vendors, and approve maintenance requests directly—no IT ticket needed.
  • Accelerate digital experience creation. Build citizen, employee, or procurement portals alongside websites—all from one platform for more efficient work.

Protect constituents through enterprise-grade security and compliance.

Public agencies handle sensitive data that demands the highest level of protection. With over 20 years of experience in regulated industries, Liferay helps you serve securely and confidently.
  • Prevent unauthorized access. Protect government data and sites with advanced authentication, access control, and permissions. Liferay supports Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for added protection.
  • Mitigate cyber threats. Defend against malicious code and common attacks using Liferay’s built-in security and audit tools. Cloud deployments include additional safeguards like ML-powered DDoS protection.
  • Prove your security commitment. Build public trust with certifications such as ISO, CSA, and SOC 2. Liferay also meets regional standards like Spain’s Esquema Nacional de Seguridad (ENS) and simplifies GDPR compliance.
  • Deploy your way. Choose from Liferay's cloud options, your preferred cloud, or on-premise – ideal for agencies with strict infrastructure requirements.

Ensure accessibility for all citizens with the tools and foundation to build accessible, compliant digital solutions.

  • Check against standards. Use built-in tools to verify compliance with WCAG 2.1, AA, WAI-ARIA, and other key accessibility standards.
  • Leverage native accessibility tools. Use contrast checkers, keyboard navigation, and alt-text generators to meet accessibility best practices.
  • Reuse accessible templates. Speed up delivery with reusable components that maintain consistency across websites.
