Imagine an e-Government future in which citizens can log onto
one Internet site, easily find the government services they are
looking for, and use that site to conduct an online transaction.
What are the future e-Government trends? Pointing to the future,
one key point came out of the lively discussion from the floor.
Not enough is being done at the moment to bridge the divide
between the local politicians and chief officers who have to
drive e-Government policy and practice, and the IT practitioners
who understand the more technical aspects.
Citizens need to be encouraged to use e-Government services,
whilst at the same time understanding that electronic services
will not replace other trusted channels of delivery such as
face-to-face contact.
e-Government opens up many possibilities for innovating and
improving government services. Many governments are working
toward providing citizens with access to information and
services 24 hours a day, seven days a week from the convenience
of their home or office PC.
To develop an understanding of the role of e-Government and
e-Governance in today's society and in public organizations,
with an emphasis on the effective management of information and
its flow.
e-Government impacts the way we interact with government
agencies at all levels, whether that interaction takes place
through telephone, fax, e-mail, a Web site, or directly into a
data base.
