Rules delivery

[alexsoble]

Problem

In the words of a technology leader in state government:

“When federal policy changes, we say, “oh my god, we’ve got to reprogram.” We go back to the vendors and have to put in a change order. It’s a terribly inefficient process.”

Also:

“We’re really proxying the rules; we’re not consuming them directly from the people who created them. We’re just pretending we know what the rules really are.”
