The emphasis on providing a government customer experience (CX) that matches or exceeds that of the private sector is not new. In 1993, President Bill Clinton issued an executive order that set customer service standards and measurements. But new advances in technology developments, particularly cloud, are giving agencies an unprecedented ability to understand and enhance all aspects of customer engagement.

The push for better CX has accelerated in recent years due in part to technological advances in cloud technology. Emerging solutions such as artificial intelligence and software as a service thrive on cloud’s flexibility and scalability. In addition to saving money, the latest cloud-based tools have profound implications for the employee experience. In fact, improving CX begins with improving the employee experience because engaged employees are the only way to deliver topnotch customer services. In recognition of that fact, two of the four strategies for achieving the Trump administration’s cross-agency priority goal on CX focus on employees: 1) rewarding programs and people who demonstrate outstanding service and 2) creating a support and accountability network to ensure sustainable CX improvement across government.
