Modernizing Government Processes in the Face of Budget Shortfalls

Across 2020, governments have pivoted strategies, initiated rapid adoption of new technologies, and re-envisioned civic engagement. With budgets tightening, there’s no turning back. Governments must continue modernizing to automate key processes, operate more efficiently, and continue to reach all members of their communities with the information and services they need.
