The lessons from the last two years have taught state and local governments they are long past due for modernization. As governments work to become more technology-enabled, they’ll not only need to enact digital transformation but also network transformation. Network transformation can drive better government in six key areas: core technologies, workforce, cybersecurity, public safety, connectivity and access, and budget and cost control. With network transformation, state and local governments can deliver a better constituent experience, make meaningful progress toward achieving their mission and finally realize the vision of digital government. This handbook provides a roadmap for how they can start and successfully navigate this journey.
