CASE STUDIES

What’s In Store for 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic reshaped how Canadians work, shop, learn, and engage with the government. A digital transformation has taken center stage. Canadians now expect and require user-friendly digital options that are accessible and convenient. In response, the government of Canada is actively leveraging digital technologies to deliver enhanced programs and services. By embracing this transformation, the government aims to make interactions with the Government of Canada seamless and hassle-free for Canadians, meeting their needs and preferences in the digital era.

The Digital Government & CX Road Show galvanizes senior government technology executives to explore and discuss how to advance the goal of improving citizen experiences with digital government services while ensuring that they are accessible, reliable, convenient, and secure.
