A gathering of executives from leading system integrators and related technology companies gathered on August 11 for a day long examination of state and local government in Colorado Springs, CO.
It was the second annual Industry Summit, convened by the Center for Digital Government.
The hundred or so industry delegates allowed an anonymous peak under the covers of their respective companies' prime targets in SLG.
It is not at all surprising the public safety and human services topped the list but, interestingly, there was consensus on only two items -- on enterprise IT infrastructure near the top of the list and parks and recreation at the very bottom.
Slicing the market by the technologies in which government is likely to invest, infrastructure again topped the list -- second only to virtualization (which may be an aspirational ranking, given the composition of the audience). Interestingly, the industry reps see a continuing government focus on information security, consolidation and connectivity. They see only middling opportunities for legacy modernization, shared services and software-as-a-service. Representing sales organizations as they do, the results also indicate three items that just don't seem ready to move -- sadly, they are business process models and identity/ access management.

I'm glad I found your blog! You might be interested to know what the City of Ontario, California is doing regarding business process management and governance. It will be some time before there's anything to see, but it is a pretty solid commitment the city has made. I'm a consultant working on the project.
