2. Open Your Government To The
Promise of Cloud-Based
Collaboration

3. • 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.

4. • 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.

6. “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. ”

important data sets.
Hidden within the data is information that empowers governments to
save time and money, improve decision-making, and engage
stakeholders.
