Governments operate in a more global and connected world than ever before, increasing the need for greater accountability, transparency and collaboration across agencies. Technology can play an important in helping governments better serve citizens, advance issues of social and economic development, and improve citizen safety and security. At Microsoft, we’re committed to partnering with governments to help identify their real-time needs and to leverage technology in a way to address today’s pressing concerns.
