ADEZZA™ is well aware that according to OMB, the federal government is the world's biggest spender on information technology, yet it has not experienced commensurate improvements in productivity, quality and customer service. In the commercial world, major gains have been realized from leveraging technology to transform old business practices. However, simply automating old business processes is not a sound basis to ensure viability of a particular technology. Rather, an innovative approach is required to select the technology best suited for the business process transformation required.
 
ADEZZA™ uses the following assumptions and methodology for arriving at a selection of a particular technology:
  • The recipe that brought the initial success to an organization often stands in the way of their strategic innovation of their business processes
  • Over time every business process goes stale, and yet most people admittedly have trouble changing a formula that perhaps brought immense success in the past
  • The life cycle of an agency’s business strategy has become extremely complicated by competition amongst leading vendors, and the inexorable advance of technology itself. Better leveraging technology investments now requires at the very least for government managers look beyond the current ways of doing work
  • Today’s IT solutions incorporate more productive ways of doing work, so as a rule, affected program officials must get involved in strategic IT investment decisions.
  • These investments need to be based on valid business cases that clearly articulate the value to both the citizen and the government, and provide for privacy and security that is critical to successful e-government.
