Open Your Government to the Promise of Cloud-Based Innovation and CollaborationTRANSCRIPT
Open Your Government To The Promise of
Cloud-Based Collaboration
• U.S. governments manage $7 trillion in spending.
• There are 90,000 governments in the U.S.
• The average individual interacts with multiple governments on a daily basis.
• Governments serve people on basic levels - food, shelter, safety, education, commerce.
Government is the Most Important Industry
• Big ERP providers focus on “sales” -- not on engineering or innovation.
• Governments have largely bought hardware and consulting.
• Many government software systems serve as data repositories.
• Most solutions are cumbersome for government executives and unintelligible for electeds and citizens.
Governments Have Been Underserved by Technology
Growing GovTech Ecosystem
New Opportunities for Tech Providers and Governments
“Government executives are challenged to achieve efficiencies and streamline operations while running complex, multi-faceted organizations — all in an environment of conflicting political agendas, cumbersome policies and intense competition for dwindling shares of the appropriations budget. This shines a light on the need to focus on management solutions that enable service innovations, cut costs while delivering stellar citizen services. ”
