The Digital Government project at the University of Puerto Rico Mayagüez consists of research and education components aimed at identifying the most pressing obstacles to the adoption of information technologies by small regional governments in Puerto Rico. The project will propose optimal technological paths designed to ameliorate if not eradicate such obstacles. The end goal is to help regional governments adopt software technology suites that are reliable, accessible, cost effective and capable of empowering citizens with closer and better governmental services.
