Government senior IT, agency, and policy leaders around the world are reimagining how to deliver effective, secure, and modern user-centric services. The next generation of government services should understand the public's needs and priorities through the intelligent use of data, simplify experiences across programs, and leverage technologies that increase workforce productivity; make digital services more inclusive; and enable trusted interactions to make bureaucracy truly "invisible." Making the government bureaucracy invisible means embracing scalable platforms and agile technologies to drive efficient, resilient, and environmentally sustainable operations that will empower seamless, proactive, and secure service delivery.

The IDC Government Insights: Worldwide National Government Platforms and Technologiesresearch and advisory service will enable national civilian government senior leaders and tech suppliers to make strategic technology decisions about government digital experiences, data and data sharing, AI and automation, cloud-enabled system modernization, future of work, cybersecurity, and data protection and digital sovereignty to drive better social, economic, and environmental outcomes for agencies and the public.
