Technology investments pay off

When it comes to budgeting, technology is often the last priority.  Yet, because of its ability to reduce administrative costs and improve service, it should be considered a top priority.  Following are some technology investments with the greatest ROI potential.  Note that ROI for government initiatives should also take into account the benefits to citizens and businesses since governments are in existence for the benefit of those constituents.

1. Online bill paying. 
   The most common applications allow residents and businesses to pay their taxes, utilities and permit fees online as well as to register and pay for park and recreation programs or rentals.  The returns come from improved cash flow, time savings and user convenience.
   
   
2. Technology audit. 
   Technology changes very fast and citizens expect their cities to be up on or at least close to new technology.  A KDV technology audit will help you evaluate all of your technology systems from computer hardware to Internet access and even backup and disaster recovery programs.
