ForeSee E-Government Benchmark Reveals Citizen Experience Dipped Slightly in Q3 2017ForeSee, the leading provider of voice of customer (VOC) solutions for Federal Government, has released its 2017 Q3 report examining citizens' experience with federal e-government, including benchmarks for desktop and mobile experiences. Findings in the 57th edition of the ForeSee Experience Index (FXI): E-Gov indicate that citizen experience (CX) with federal websites has dipped very slightly to 75.9 (on the study's 100-point scale), representing a decrease of one tenth of a point (0.1) compared to the previous quarter. "Our latest benchmark confirms that citizens value the content and online services that government provides," said Dave Lewan, author of the ForeSee Experience Index (FXI): E-Gov and Vice President at ForeSee. "Delivering a great digital experience directly impacts the cost to serve, and that is something we think the proposed Federal Agency Customer Experience Act of 2017 can help address." The third quarter report shows that when a citizen has a great experience on federal government website, they are 88% more likely to use that site as their primary resource and 55% more likely to return to those sites. A focus on measuring citizn experience, and identifying the changes that will have the biggest impact, has the potential to deliver millions in cost savings. For example, one federal agency ForeSee partners with saw a 5% decrease in calls to its contact center after making improvements to its website that answered citizen questions more efficiently. The lowered call volume saved nearly $6 million annually. Key findings from the Q3 2017 index include:
