WASHINGTON, April 1 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Focus Washington TechView recently sat down with Rob Tarkoff, senior vice president for Business Productivity Solutions at Adobe Systems Incorporated, to discuss Open Government and its application around the world. The two-part interview examines the role of technology in today's citizen-centric approach to government.

As Open Government initiatives become more widespread, governments are beginning to view themselves in a different manner, Tarkoff explains in the interview. Serving constituents digitally is no longer optional, but must be at the core of the services provided, he continued.

The conversation also includes discussion of the concept of "easy" government, as well as the challenges and opportunities for agencies in producing and providing required data sets and in delivering compelling yet secure experiences via mobile device platforms.
