Part B: Shared Platform Other Information:
Government agencies are missing out on opportunities to share ideas and resources within the digital services space. Inefficiencies
such as fragmented procurement and development practices waste taxpayer dollars and stymie the consistent adoption of new
technologies and approaches. The shift to a shared platform culture will require strong leadership at the government-wide
and agency levels. Agencies must begin to look first to shared solutions and existing infrastructure when developing new projects,
rather than procuring new infrastructure and systems for each new project. They must also share ownership of common service
areas, both within and across agencies, instead of creating multiple websites on the same topic. To alleviate the burden on
individual agencies, prevent duplication, and spur innovation, we must provide central support for the adoption of new technologies,
development of better digital services, and strengthening of governance.
