Technology Benefits
Why Should Government Make the Investment?
v Direct Return-on-Investment
Ø It pays for itself by savings.
Ø “3-Year revolving loan fund.”
Ø In public organizations, “business-to-business” (B2B)
applications are more likely to generate this kind of
return than “business-to-customer” (B2C)
Ø However, “marginal benefits” – after primary/required
database is in place often can yield positive return.
v Improve Speed/Accuracy of Service
Ø This is a good thing, but if no actual savings,
is it worth the investment? (But this should create
savings.)
v New Services?
Ø Do they add value? To government? To customers?
