Technology plays an ever increasing part in your ability to serve your constituents. And yet technology can also hamper your agency’s budget, deterring your unspoken mandate of being able to “do more with less,” and making it difficult to move forward with key political and legislative mandates.

Insight is committed to helping you achieve your financial and service goals while reducing your upfront and ongoing technology costs, as well as enabling you to lower your agency’s impact on our environment. “Going green”, as these efforts are commonly known, is really a collection of potential technical and operational efficiencies that your agency can undertake that allow you to lower your costs through many possible avenues. Among the common benefits for utilizing some or all of the technology areas mentioned below are:
