According to a Center for Digital Government survey, 42% of government agencies have modernized their technology, 14% have modernization underway, and 33% are still using legacy systems.

If your agency has recently invested in new technology, you may fear it won’t meet your staff and public citizens’ expectations.
Addressing these challenges may seem complicated, but it doesn’t have to be.
