Privacy First: Why Local Governments Must Rethink Their Mobile Strategy

In the wake of shifting tax revenues and shrinking budgets, local governments are facing a new reality: they must do more with less—and do it better. While resources may be tighter, resident expectations are higher than ever. According to recent surveys, 54% of citizens expect online government services, and 30% want those processes simplified.

Meeting the "New Normal" Expectations

Constituents now view local government through the lens of customer service. They expect the same convenience from their city hall as they do from their internet provider:

  • On-Demand Access: Reliable online services available without "hunting" for them.
  • Real-Time Updates: Immediate information regarding public health, local business status, and crisis management.
  • Digital Utility: Seamless online bill pay and service requests.
