Virginia Gov. Timothy Kaine today encouraged organizations and individuals to work from home or from a remote location on Monday August 3. Kaine in a release said that telework promotes workplace efficiency, reduces traffic and is green and family friendly. Businesses are encouraged to participate as a way to test business continuity plans for an emergency. Signups and additional resources can be located online at the Telework Exchange.
This Digital Communities white paper highlights discussions with IT officials in four counties that have adopted shared services models. Our aim was to learn about the obstacles these governments have faced when it comes to shared services and what it takes to overcome those roadblocks. We also spoke with several members of the IT industry who have thought long and hard about these issues. The paper offers some best practices for shared government-to-government services, but also points out challenges that government and industry still must overcome before this model gains widespread adoption.
Don't miss this opportunity to see the latest in digital government solutions, keep abreast of current policy issues and network with key government executives, technologists and industry specialists.
