Microsoft Corp. today joined with government officials in Boston to unveil MassCARES, an emerging technology that will forever change the way in which government delivers services such as child care, health insurance and after-school programs to families in need. MassCARES builds upon a decade of successes in which Massachusetts has utilized collaborative database strategies to implement the most dramatic reduction in youth homicide in the country, the sharpest reduction in the number of uninsured children, and an expansion of after-school programming. Microsoft also announced that Massachusetts Gov. Jane Swift will receive the company's Health and Human Services Award, honoring the most innovative e-government technology vision and solution in the United States.
