State & Local
State and local governments are at the forefront of providing services to the people and to businesses. This creates unique pressures and a challenging performance-based environment for government officials as they make critical decisions for their residential and corporate constituents.
We are driving our capital planning process for 2009-2014 through the Decision Lens platform. Decision Lens is helping us to prioritize our capital needs and ensuring that our resources are being optimized to meet state objectives.

State and local governments are often faced with shrinking budgets, increasing constituent demands and myriad regulatory requirements to address. This requires a variety of solutions, from streamlining operations and workflows to furthering collaboration across agencies and providing state-of-the-art technology solutions.
The choices and considerations our state and local officials and government staff face are seemingly endless and can be very overwhelming.
Whether within a single agency or jurisdiction or across multiple organizations, the Decision Lens solutions increase collaborative decision making and provide for a more efficient and effective approach to achieving consensus-based decisions.
Using the Decision Lens solutions reduces the amount of time and effort it takes to make decisions, and therefore helps state and local governments better serve their constituents.
State and local government agencies can benefit from the Decision Lens solutions in all major service areas, such as transportation, education, health, consumer affairs, recreation and public safety.
Key decision areas that Decision Lens focuses on within state and local governments include the following:
- Services prioritization
- Budget development
- Homeland security and emergency preparedness funding allocation
- Procurement
- Technology planning and investment management
- Strategic and business planning
- Human capital management
