Government Technology Software (GovTech)
The WCAS Perspective on Government Technology Software
State and local government spending accounts for approximately 10% of the U.S. Economy’s GDP. Despite this, government agencies continue to lag the broader market in software adoption and the efficiencies it can produce:
WCAS believes that a shift to cloud-based software models will help governments at all levels drive additional value for taxpayers through increased transparency, improved speed and agility and flexibility in our evolving world. The need to shift toward next-gen solutions for mission—critical— needs such as enterprise resource planning, asset management and public safety— is an attractive opportunity for investment.
GovTech Themes We're Excited To Invest Behind
We look forward to partnering with leading enterprises and entrepreneurs who share our mission of increasing government efficiency through technology.
