2016 GCN dig IT Award Finalists Announced
Vienna, VA (PRWEB) September 07, 2016 -- GCN is pleased to announce the finalists of the 2016 GCN dig IT Awards.
For 28 years, the GCN Awards have showcased general excellence in government IT. This year, with the GCN dig IT Awards, we are sharpening the focus to showcase what matters most: transformative tech that is truly reinventing government. The 2016 awards will celebrate leading—edge technologies and the pioneering IT professionals who are driving them forward.
"From the Internet to GPS to drones, much of the most exciting and important technology today has been either invented or driven by government,” GCN Editor-in-Chief Troy K.
