Microsoft and its certified partners offer state, county, and city governments comprehensive solutions to enhance how citizens receive services by assisting agencies in:

  • Facilitating employee access to information across agencies
  • Consolidating IT infrastructures to reduce costs and redundancies and enhancing organizational-wide security.
  • Executing self-service and automated functionality to enhance internal processes and citizens' services.
  • Implementing scorecard tools to assess agency service to citizens and employees.

September 11, 2001 fundamentally changed the threat, crime, and response environment in America. To protect our homeland, we need to share the information required to better prevent, prepare for, and respond to both natural and manmade incidents. Microsoft is committed to developing a referenceable and replicable mission-critical architecture-for fusion centers and for connecting fusion centers together. Microsoft FusionX enables government agencies to marshal human intellect, technology, and information in order to identify suspicious activities, take action to prevent attacks or criminal activities, and prepare for and respond to incidents that do occur.

Leveraging Microsoft's core strengths in the public sector and its strong partner relationships makes it possible to achieve your agency's vision for how your people work and how citizens obtain services. From desktops to servers, Microsoft tools empower government agency employees to better serve their citizens and employees any time, anywhere, and on any device with easy-to-use, familiar interfaces. www.microsoft.com/slg for more information.
