profit growth, the agency needed to begin reinventing itself to run more like a business, with corresponding digital customer engagement.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The design processes that should accompany a Sitecore implementation force the type of data analysis and introspection that many government organizations desperately need.
Wholesale web/digital updates can be a once a decade event in the government arena. It is essential to prioritize identified customer needs without sacrificing the future.
The strategic planning that Sitecore demands can jump start the journey to omnichannel citizen engagement.
