Today, government agencies are challenged like never before to make smart IT investments. Organizations are challenged to adopt agile, efficient and transformative technology. That’s why I am excited to share with you our latest report on open source technology. This report is the latest in our Agency of the Future series, which is highlighting the trends that will shape the future of government. Our recent guide focused exclusively how open source will shape the agency of the future. In this report we highlight results from a GovLoop survey, and an interview with NASA on how they have used open source technology.
