A recent study by the Center for Digital Government (CDG) shows that 75% of the 2,000 citizens surveyed prefer to complete government transactions online. Seventy percent of respondents said it saves them time, and 60% said it saves them money.
The survey confirms that constituents seek secure web-based interfaces that contain the information and enable the services they require. A key element of these online platforms continues to be a network that delivers uninterrupted connectivity between the government agency and user.
