Case Study: Government of the US Virgin Islands

There is a new case study that has been released for the Government of the US Virgin Islands and their switchover to Office 365. While it is not the most detailed since it is a cloud-based solution it is a good promotion for collaboration and consolidation of disparate systems.

You can see the full blog post here, and the case study here.

Serving the people of the US Virgin Islands (USVI) is behind everything I do as the Chief Information Officer of the Government of the US Virgin Islands. It’s a big challenge. There are significant obstacles to providing efficient government services to constituents across our four main islands (St. Croix, St. John, St. Thomas, and Water Island) and the other islands that make up our territory. When I joined the USVI, the Governor had issued a mandate to improve services throughout its 23 agencies. We needed to reduce bureaucracy and red tape. I believe IT can play a big role in transforming our processes to achieve more citizen-centric services and demonstrate that we are putting taxpayers’ money to good use. So my mission became to change the culture of computing at USVI by incorporating innovative technology solutions to facilitate the business of government. I selected Office 365 to help me accomplish this goal.
