Tech designed to improve the general functioning of government and citizens' basic interactions with government services.

"Based on a new survey by CivicPlus involving 16,000 Americans, a direct link between technology and resident satisfaction has been identified, largely driven by the convenience of accessing resident services through technology. More precisely, residents residing in technology-forward communities tend to be more active civic participants, as government software applications place the potential for a stronger community in the hands of the people." - Govtech Magazine
