Brief Notes on Public Administration & e-Government - government site
Dr. S. Koner,
MBA Professor
e-Government is in principlė nothing new. Governments were among the first users of computers. But the global proliferation of the Internet, which effectively integrates information and communications technology on the basis of open standards, combined with the movement to reform public administration known as New Public Management, has for good reason generated a new wave of interest in the topic.
Introducing electronic voting is mainly a question of offering a package of electronic services [such as online voting, egistration, postal vote application] in line with other online service initiatives. Of course there are policy questions to consider as well, such as authentication and security, but in broad terms, the act of casting and counting a vote can be considered the service element of the democratic process.
The final phase of any e-Government study examine the Return-on-Investment from implementing online services. The aim must be to determine a benchmark Return-on-Investment [or other suitable form of measurement] to be used as a guide to assist agencies in future service planning. Return-on-Investment will encompass not only financial returns, but also impacts for individual agencies, Government more broadly and users of Government services.
e-Government is not only or even primarily about reforming the work processes within and among governmental institutions, but is rather about improving its services to and collaboration with citizens, the business and professional community, and nonprofit and nongovernmental organisations such as associations, trade unions, political parties, churches, and public interest groups.
The future for e-Government will be affected by the way that the supply market changes. To date, some IT suppliers have responded more effectively than others to the way in which the local e-Government market has developed.
The implications of IT for the future of Government are as yet dimly perceived, notwithstanding a stream of speculation and informed commentary on the future of democracy and governance.
You need to help councils recognise CRM as a change enabler and help them use CRM to become more open, more accountable, more inclusive and better able to lead their communities in an informed and cohesive way.
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.
Customer Relationship Management CRM will play a key role in giving citizens access to information, so enabling organisations to achieve this deadline. Widely adopted within the private sector, it has been pinpointed by local authorities as a key component of their e- Government strategies.
e-Government is not just about putting services online. An integral element is about modernising our democratic and governance processes. This includes using technology to achieve better communication processes between citizens and their elected representatives, improving the mechanism for consultation and implementing more modern voting practices.
e-Government, and many others, show how IT is changing the way we share information, transact business, and make decisions. Lawyers are among the many professionals impacted by these changes.
Since governmental institutions take part in marketing and sales activities, both as buyers and sellers, it is not inconsistent to speak of e-Government applications of e-commerce. Governments do after all conduct business.
In the minds of elected officials, encouraging e-Government is a win-win proposition. The public loves to cut waste while improving service, and politicians are happy to show that tax dollars are being spent more efficiently.
We are only starting to understand how the internet can contribute to the health and strength of representative democracy.
Many e-Government IT investment planning processes now require some analysis of the costs and returns expected from that proposed investment. Unfortunately, public sector managers often lack models that can guide them through such analyses.
