User-Friendly Government

Making a citizen alert five different agencies each time they change their address is a hassle for customers and inefficient for agencies. Sharing data across agencies is a practical solution to improve customer satisfaction and reduce waste.

Local election officials and clerks are the salt of the earth when it comes to running our elections, and unfortunately these hardworking individuals have faced an onslaught of challenges — from threats due to disinformation to a lack of funding to actually run elections, running our elections has become increasingly harder. We're striving to find ways to make our election process not only more convenient for voters, but for the people who run them.

Take a look at our latest report on LEO turnover and learn how we can better support our election officials.

Too many agency customers still have to fill out clunky paper forms. Paper forms filled out by hand are error-prone, inefficient, and expensive to process. To the greatest extent possible, agencies should transition customers to more efficient and less error-prone electronic transactions.

When the government knows a person is eligible to vote or enroll in Medicaid or has all the information it needs for a tax return, it should save the person the time and energy of completing an unnecessary form. Agencies can do the work for the customer, notify them, and give them a chance to make any changes, if needed.

Every moment a customer spends standing in line or waiting for a website to load builds frustration with the government. Agencies should strive to reduce transaction times, both in-person and online, by using the information they already have to streamline transactions.
