State-Level Example

County-Level Example

Government Without Boundaries Benefits Citizens and businesses will not need to understand the structure of government to get the information and services they desire. Provides a foundation for dynamic web page creation and data exchange Promotes cooperation between various government entities

What are the future possibilities? Government as a whole will be able to provide high-level service at a reduced cost It will be easier for government entities to give their constituents the power of information

What are the future possibilities? Complementary service rather than redundant service An improved image for government as a whole and an improved morale for government workers The sky’s the limit!
