In 2020, the pandemic tremendously impacted public-sector organisations all over the world. As every public-facing service organisation was forced to start pivoting to digital alternatives from the traditional “in-person & paper” model, a new set of challenges were created.
The digital transformation taking place in the public sector is increasing the risk, and it cannot be underestimated.
What are the new risks?
As public sector organizations are increasingly becoming digitized, and application development cycles shorten, there is a large push towards delivering digital solutions as quickly as possible.
