Cook County Government Tech Stack
Large-scale government operations across Chicago metro with 5M+ residents
Cook County operates as a sprawling public-sector enterprise managing public health, courts, infrastructure, and community services across the second-most populous U.S. county. The tech stack reveals a traditional government IT footprint—Microsoft 365, ServiceNow, Cherwell, Oracle EBS—paired with emerging efforts in fiber network expansion and wireless security deployments. Active hiring in legal, finance, HR, and security roles reflects a government scaling operational compliance and internal IT modernization, while open projects span emergency response, broadband buildout, and policy infrastructure rather than product innovation.
