Civic Resource Group
Leading the Digital Transformation of the Public Sector

The most critical challenge for public sector leaders in the twenty-first century has been ensuring good government. Pressure is mounting on them to provide faster, better and more accessible services for a steadily growing and more urban population. Public sector leaders face new global realities, including macroeconomic uncertainty, drastic changes in populations and demographics, and conflicts at the international level. At the same time, Governments everywhere are dealing with diminishing trust in them. The complexity of the situation has led industry experts to consider radical changes in how governments are structured and how they function, including innovations enabled by new technologies. This has set the stage for companies involved in developing government-specific technological solutions to prove themselves, especially with the emergence of cloud and mobile computing. At the forefront of these developments is Civic Resource Group (CRG), a Los Angeles, CA based developer of cloud-first, mobile-first, data-first solutions that address the specific requirements of government and civic organizations. CRG has for more than a decade served as a trusted advisor to governments, providing e-government strategies, tools and solutions. The company is now positioned to lead the massive move to the Cloud that is just starting in the public sector.

Under the leadership of Gregory G.Curtin, Ph.D., JD, CRG has been extending requirement-specific services to sectors including Government, Education, Transportation, Travel & Tourism, Arts and Culture and Non-profit organizations. The company has a long history of working exclusively in the public sector, a key differentiator from other technology providers.

“Governments across the globe are facing the urgent need for change, in terms of operational strategies, delivery of public services, citizen engagement, and government transparency. As a result, governments and civic bodies irrespective of their size and location, are witnessing a fundamental change in the very way they do business,” observes Dr. Curtin.
