Dovel Recommended Reading

Dovel’s Jason Bloomberg is writing a series of columns for CIO.com  on agencies that are finding success by taking innovative approaches using emerging technologies to create user-friendly IT solutions. Yes you read that right – success, federal agencies, innovative, emerging technology, user-friendly – all those concepts are in one sentence with no irony whatsoever…
