SAINT PAUL, Minn., July 11, 2014 -- GovDelivery, the leading provider of cloud-based public sector communication solutions, announced today the availability of a new e-book, titled "Mobile is Here to Stay: Are You Ready."  This new document is the first in a two-part series designed to help public sector organizations harness the power of mobile to achieve mission goals by connecting with more people and moving them to take action.

The e-book guides government organizations through developing a straightforward mobile strategy that saves both time and money, while increasing citizens' satisfaction by providing them with the information they need, in the way they want to receive it. This first installment in the series provides government employees with the latest mobile statistics and trends, specific tips on how to kick-start a mobile strategy with email and social media and advise on the easiest ways to meet mobile goals.  It demonstrates the importance of not only having a mobile strategy, but also using a variety of email, text message and social media channels to deliver messages on mobile devices to target audiences.

"Mobile devices have transformed the way we live and work, and government organizations have begun to understand the need to meet citizens where they are with the information they need, exactly when they need it.  These innovators embrace the power of mobile to engage citizens and encourage a two-way dialogue using digital channels like email, text messaging, social and blogs," said Scott Burns, CEO and co-Founder of GovDelivery.  "Our work with more than 1,000 government organizations puts us in a unique position to curate mobile best practices and to help government communicators leverage this undeniable trend to foster engagement, expand their reach and meet their mission goals with less effort and expense.  We're proud to be able to share these trends and tips with the public sector in this e-book."
