Government & Public Sector
Building a better working world for governments and citizens.
In today’s world, people are communicating, organizing and demanding change faster than ever before. From the way people work to the services they use and the places in which they live, digital technologies are creating new patterns of citizen behavior. This brings new challenges and demands for all organizations – including government. Only digital technologies have the reach and efficiency that is necessary for governments to succeed.
At EY, we help governments adopt digital technology to create new ways of working, with the aim of achieving better outcomes for citizens and better experiences for government workers. Our digital capabilities help governments improve in these areas:
- Customer experience: making it easier to use government services
- Public value: optimizing the return on public investment
- Smart infrastructure: helping societies and economies to function better
- Citizen security: keeping people, information and strategic interests safe
- Future workforce: improving capabilities in the public sector and reimagining work
We have a proud record of helping governments meet their challenges head-on, and we work closely with them to build a world that works better for all citizens.
