US: E-Government Satisfaction Dips Slightly in New Benchmark from ForeSee, Should Feds Be Concerned?
ForeSee, the pioneer in Voice of Customer (VOC) solutions, released its 2017 Q4 report examining citizens’ experience with federal e-government today. Findings in the 58th edition of the ForeSee Experience Index (FXI): E-Gov indicate that citizen experience (CX) with federal websites has dipped to 75.5 (on the study’s 100-point scale), representing a decrease of nearly half a point (0.4) compared to the previous quarter.
“ForeSee's Q4 2017 benchmark confirms that citizens truly appreciate when government listens to what people need and delivers quality content and online services,” said Dave Lewan, author of the E-Gov report and Vice President at ForeSee. “For nearly fifteen years, the ForeSee Experience Index has chronicled the citizen experience of more than one million participants, serving as an important benchmark for agencies to evaluate the success and performance of their online government initiatives.”
