Brief Notes on Public Administration & e-Government - government systems
Dr. S. Koner,
MBA Professor
The implications of IT for the future of Govërnment are as yet dimly perceived, notwithstanding a stream of speculation and informed commentary on the future of democracy and governance.
e-Government is going to be a prime enabler for transformation of the way that central and local Government interact and communicate with Citizens.
E-Government refers to the systematic use by Government agencies of information and communications technologies [such as wide area networks, the Internet, and mobile computing] that have the ability to transform relations with citizens, businesses, and Government. These technologies can improve delivery of services, including interactions with business and citizens, and promote efficient Management.
We are only starting to understand how the internet can contribute to the health and strength of representative democracy.
The Return-on-Investment on e-Government provides the impetus for increased levels of investment to harness the potential ongoing benefits to both citizens and Government.
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.
You must bring clarity and definition to the role of Customer Relationship Management within local authorities and support councils in delivering modern, successful, and effective local Government services.
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.
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.
It is important that Government have a good understanding of the level of Return-on-Investment to date on e-Government initiatives, as well as a method for determining an appropriate Return-on-Investment in the future.
Why do Government officials love e-Government and hate e-democracy? The answer is implicit in the definition of the question. e-Government uses Information Technology to make Government operate more efficiently, often by copying techniques first developed in the private sector. E-democracy uses Information Technology to make elected officials more accountable to the public.
An e-Government key factor… is the implementation phase. Usually governments underestimate this phase focusing instead mostly on design and development.
Where then have e-Government benefits already been felt by the public? The sharing of information between services, and making it available to front-line staff in call centres and one stop shops makes one think that, to date, the main benefits felt by the public have been indirect, rather than direct.
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 vision for e-Government is that you will be able to find public information and services within your Government departments quickly and easily over the Internet.
