“Whether yours is a city of one million or a village of 3,000 your current government delivery model is reaching its end of life. Widespread broadband, social media proliferation, and digital customer service expectations are revolutionizing the ways that consumers interact with brands—and the ways that citizens engage with their local government. Paper-based workflows, siloed data, and internally hosted single-function software systems no longer enable local governments to build transparency and trust among citizens.
