Tens of millions of tablets would be in use in America’s workplaces by 2015, Ted

Schadler – Forrester Research’s

Trends for Connecting with Customers: They Want it All

"The services that government provides its constituents, partners, and employees are increasingly

benchmarked against user experience in other walks of their lives. It is not surprising that customers expect

the same options, quality, and level of service from government as they receive from retailers, technical

support, consumer services, and others they contact on the phone, online, and more. As it turns out, the way

users choose to interact with public sector organizations is not identical to commercial providers, but there

are similarities—and some distinct differences.
