Laserfiche Congratulates the 2018 Top Digital Cities
The Center for Digital Government has announced the winners of the 2018 Digital Cities Survey. The annual survey recognizes cities that have used technology solutions to improve citizen services, enhance transparency and encourage citizen engagement. Once again, Laserfiche customers have been recognized as Top Digital Cities in all population cohorts.
These cities represent organizations that are redefining the role of IT in the public sector. Their forward-thinking initiatives—from innovative public/private partnerships to implementing artificial intelligence and machine learning tools—transcend “keep the lights on” mentality. These leading cities are proactively driving better experiences for citizens, while remaining good stewards of public resources.
