Local Government Technology Predictions for 2012

January 5, 2012, Alexandria, VA—Public Technology Institute (PTI) has identified its list of technology “ins and outs” – the solutions and practices that will impact the local government marketplace in 2012.

This list is based on interviews that PTI has conducted with local government IT executives as well as representatives of the technology vendor community who work with city and county governments.
