Digital Government

Digital government has improved dramatically over the past decade. Many governments now provide extensive online services and easy access to information for their citizens. TVi has arranged numerous technical visits for groups interested in the latest digital government trends.

Silicon Valley Digital City Government

Online Government Services Access for All

TVi has worked with many city government information technology departments in the past to arrange technical visits for overseas delegations interested in best practices and trends in digital government. Some of the most interesting and successful visits TVi has arranged have been to city governments in Silicon Valley, like the City of Milpitas, where delegations have experienced the latest innovations in digital government firsthand.
