2020 has presented (previously) unimaginable challenges for state and local governments who have persevered and discovered new ways to effectively adapt on the fly. IT executives quickly realized, however, that the enablement of quick transition lies in their network capabilities.

According to NASCIO’s 2020 Report: The Agile State CIO, industry leaders believe the top post-COVID-19 changes will be:

1. Expanded work from home/remote work options
2. Expanded use of collaboration platforms/remote meetings
3. Increased attention on digital government services/citizen experience
4. Investments in broadband expansion/adoption
5. Increased priority and investment in legacy modernization
6. Expanded cloud services/SaaS deployment
7. Accelerated use of data analytics
8. Changes to state government facilities, reduction of office space and configuration
9. Broader adoption of artificial intelligence/automation
10. Investments in business continuity and operational resilience
