THE CHALLENGE
For too long, state and local government agencies have worked in isolation to modernize their mission-critical Health and Human Services technology infrastructure. In the absence of an environment conducive to collaboration and coordination, government agencies often work on the same things, unaware of the existence of IT planning and software assets that are already in the public domain. The result is redundant investment of taxpayer dollars and lost opportunity to quickly and affordably implement tools and best practices that have already been proven effective.
OUR MISSION
The openGOVsource Consortium seeks to assist government agencies in the pursuit of their modernization efforts based on a renewed sense of common purpose, functional similarities and technology standards that naturally lead to system interoperability and effective service delivery. We seek to accomplish these goals by enabling state and local governments to share their modernization strategies, their planning assets, their procurement documents, their development and implementation plans and their software assets across the geographic and political boundaries that have separated our taxpayer-funded initiatives up to this point in time. We seek to eliminate inefficiencies while empowering caseworkers to deliver exceptional service that guides citizens to healthier and more productive lives.
OUR VISION OF SUCCESS
We envision a day when all government agencies, contracted service providers, non-profits and industry partners that work in health and human services will efficiently leverage interoperable, reusable, best-of-breed technology components to develop intelligent, customer service-focused systems, ensuring that the most vulnerable members of our society have access to the supportive services they need to lead healthier and more productive lives.
OUR SOCIAL IMPACT STRATEGY
The openGOVsource Consortium enables interagency collaboration, catalogs technology planning assets and software components and seeks to synthesize the technology standards and business requirements of health and human services through a service model that includes:
The openGOVsource Exchange
The openGOVsource Collaboration Community
