Government Interoperability

CTG has published two white papers on government interoperability. The first paper, Government Worth Having,is specifically to help government leaders understand the important role that they alone play in enabling—not hindering—more interoperable government. The second paper, Improving Government Interoperability,is provided as a practical guide for those government managers responsible for turning interoperability goals into real capabilities. Both papers were written with support from Microsoft Corporation.
