GROWING CITIZEN DEMANDS?
We believe digital governmentservices are thewayforward,
but a government needs to go further.
Citizens aredigitalcustomers that areaccustomedto consuming delightful, relevantandseamless
experiences with brands thatstrivesto anticipatecustomers’goals and needs. Moreover,
citizens interactwith both the government agenciesand privateenterprisesto completeatask
such as purchasing a property, expecting thesamelevel ofservice throughout.
As customers’expectations escalateandevolvein thecommercial sphere,so too willtheir
expectations for how they engagewith thegovernment
across different touchpoints.

7. WHY “LIVING GOVERNMENT”?
Citizens arealready beginningto expect that
government interactions will behyper-relevant to their
individual needs.
Governments must go beyond boltingon technology to
their agencies’existingsystems and processes.
We believe the solution isa Living Government
that empowers public agencies to deliver a truly
relevant, connected and seamless experience.
