Accelerating digital citizen services safely and securely

As the current situation with COVID-19 unfolds, most services are moving to an online format and are being offered in a virtual setting. Getting to this point in providing digital services has taken many years of work to transform. And how relevant that is today, especially given the times that we are living in and the crisis of the coronavirus.
