First, the timing is right.
Federal resources are strained.
Budget cuts, massive retirements in both civilian agencies and DOD, and public demand for better service all lead to the same conclusion. Government has little choice but to embrace technology solutions that will help them streamline processes, reduce costs, and distribute shared information across the enterprise. Fueled by extensive budget requirements and a tremendous employee base, the federal government s interest thus far has mainly been in human resources, financial applications and, to some extent, logistics. As the public sector learns more about advances in ERP, they will embrace it more. One of the biggest problems is deployment costs, both in infrastructure and software.
