a. Ensuring New Jersey's global leadership position in technology and electronic government requires an approach that narrows the growing gap between the digital demands of citizens and the methods by which the government provides digital services to New Jersey.
b. The enhancement of citizen-facing digital experiences can change the paradigm for the delivery of government services and dramatically reduce the cost of government operations.

f. Transitioning from paper processes to adaptive and intuitive digital forms would significantly improve government services.
g. All State websites should be accessible to individuals with disabilities.
