THE FUTURE OF .GOV AND THE PEOPLE’S CODE
Insights from a Survey of Public Sector Website Owners and Developers
Adobe commissioned the Government Business Council (GBC), which is part of Government Executive to survey website owners in federal, state and local govt about their websites. This was designed to gather data to dispel myths about government favoring “open source” software over COTS (Commercial off-the-shelf) software. Great data and insights from IT professionals and website owners in government, including the fact that they rely about equally on open source and COTS solutions. They also expressed concern about aging infrastructure, discussed their dependence on IT for website updates, how COVID has been a missed opportunity for upgrade and more.
