In the face of budget crises, government entities at every level must cut costs and find efficiencies. An enormous opportunity
lies in their IT infrastructure — the technology they require to provide their citizens essential services. For the most part,
each city, county, state, agency and office builds or buys their technology solutions independently, creating huge redundancies
in civic software and wasting millions of tax-payer dollars. They should be able to work together.
