A Call to Action for Governments

According to IDC Government Insights "IT for Better Government: International best practices" research, Governments are actively making policy changes to counteract the effects of an economic downturn.
These "countercyclical" activities require quick implementation with fast, demonstrable results.

To be effective, Governments must ensure their initiatives are:

• Competitive: Driving towards a competitive position in the international marketplace.
• Innovative: Adapting to the changing needs of the citizen by offering new ways to deliver services.
• Efficient: Optimizing resources to demonstrate value to the citizen.
• Citizen-centric: Responding directly to the needs of the citizen.

In this phase of economic crisis Government and related areas are one of the most resilient sectors where investments in digital infrastructures, solutions and services are going to hold and probably increase in the next few years.

IDC and Government Insights have developed an impressive amount of experiences in all regions worldwide in advising government on adoption of ICT to improve their efficiencies and effectiveness.
