The Self Service Government User Forum's mission is to enhance the visibility to self service government initiatives that are completed, in progress, or just getting off the ground. Our goal is to share information, experience, ideas, strategies and to:
(a) connect government organizations with resources to help get projects off the ground,
(b) make an informed choice on tools and technologies for self service applications,
(c) develop strategies for citizen outreach, on-boarding, and user adoption,
(d) set cost savings quantitative goals as well as qualitative metrics for success,
(e) measure and report on progress,
(f) measure and collect feedback.
