The volatile context in which governments operate make systemic change necessary. Incremental step-by-step improvements to government effectiveness will often be the only ones affordable in the short term.

"Agility in architectural design, management, and sourcing is the only way forward for smart governments that want to make information technology a key enabler and trigger of long-term sustainable service delivery," said Silvia Piai, research manager, IDC EMEA Government Insights.
