Benefits of Modern Government Cloud Software
In a post-pandemic world, the benefits of modern cloud software (aka: “Software as a Service”) are more relevant than ever for government to address the challenges of remote work, digital services, and managing uncertainty. Cloud software helps you future-proof your investment while focusing on your community.
Increase Productivity
Modern government work is collaborative. Intuitive software empowers all users for success
Strengthen public trust
Better decisions and alignment come from common, shared, accurate information
Improve Citizen Experience
Digital services map to the expectations of community members and improve satisfaction
Build resilience
Leaders have confidence in the face of uncertainty that their processes are secure and sustainable
All Cloud Software Isn’t Equal
Many software providers try to sell legacy systems as “cloud” because they are delivered remotely. Same software, different packaging. These aren’t designed for 21st century government. Modern government cloud software has these characteristics:
Anywhere, Any Device
Nothing to install – only a browser required
Continuous Enhancement
Rapid innovation driven by customer feedback
Intuitive User Interfaces
Built in the era of consumer software, eliminates the nuances and complexities that only “power users” can understand
World-Class Security and Infrastructure
Modern applications take advantage of the leading cloud service providers (like Amazon Web Services) to ensure your mission critical systems are resilient
Fast and Configurable
Can be deployed quickly providing value when you need it and configured without deep technical expertise or IT assistance
100% Hassle-Free
Always up-to-date with no effort from your government. No upgrades, patches, customizations, or (of course) hardware to manage.
Timely, Accurate Data Anywhere
Timely and accurate data made accessible across teams and departments improves collaboration and the speed and quality of decisions. No more “pecking around” in different datasets to answer Council questions. No more sinking feeling from realizing you used the wrong spreadsheet version for your presentation.
Track budgeted and actual spending like Allegheny County, PA.
Continuous, Hassle-Free Enhancements
Product Managers review new features in a live workshop each quarter
Continuous enhancements with always-on, automatic updates to your suite, ensure that you always have access to the newest tools and functionality. Save your government from spending scarce resources on costly software and security upgrades that distract from your mission.
