In such circumstances, [[consultant]]s or specific technology training is usually required, as the organization lacks the internal skills or experience with the technologies that it expects to be using soon.

=== Example: government ===
In [[government]], for example, citizen use of the [[Internet]] and the increased availability of [[telework]]ers has presented special challenges and opportunities, typically called "[[e-government]]". At the same time, internal operational efficiencies have become more of a priority due to rising competition between jurisdictions. Often the first step is to limit the number of different departments or agencies involved. By "consolidating the technology operations of 91 state agencies into the [[Virginia Information Technology Agency]], the State of Virginia estimates an eventual savings of nearly $100 million a year." - [http://cpr.ca.gov/report/cprrpt/issrec/stops/it/so01.htm#6b]
