Johnson Controls: Creating a Safe, Sustainable Community in a Challenging Economy
Date: December 9, 2009
While new technology advancements are helping
communities execute services faster and more efficiently, many local
governments are having trouble finding the funds to implement them.
According to Gartner Research, virtually all IT project investments
within local governments will undergo a value-for-money reassessment
beginning this year. Many will take advantage of the new economic
stimulus funds from the American Recovery & Reinvestment act. But
will the stimulus offer enough help?
This white paper addresses
how technology is now able to deliver meaningful ROI data and why a
well-planned implementation of technology initiatives will deliver the
strongest public value impact. The strategy is showcased in success
stories from two local governments who were able to serve their
constituents by making their communities more efficient, even when
financing looked impossible.
