1. Get in touch and set up a call or a meeting
Each m-government project is different. To clarify the goals, needs and requirements, either a face-to-face or over phone / e-mail discussion is the first logical step.2. Study or a pilot project?
Depending on the level of readiness and previous experience with m-services of a city or national government agency, either a feasibility study or a pilot project is recommended.3. Implementation!
After a 3 - 6 month pilot project, analysis is conducted. If the pilot project has proven to be successful, more wide-spread implementation of the service is recommended.Get in touch!
