Government - Information Technology has long been essential for the expeditious operation of government systems. The sheer magnitude of uses inherent within these systems is staggering. Equipment management and supply inventory alone are huge tasks. Thousands of employees and staff generate mountains of information. Manual data entry is slow, tedious and often incorrect.
Security is paramount.
The multitude of applications seems endless. The Department of Motor Vehicles can expedite the processing of vehicle registration and title documentation as well as license renewal. Long waiting lines can be greatly reduced, thus diminishing operating costs and improving customer satisfaction. Bar coding can also increase the security of the license itself, hence eliminating fraudulent licenses and even reducing under-age drinking. Community and sporting events can be facilitiated by using laser scanners, high speed radio frequency data communications and mobile data bases.
