Why E-GovernmentWhy E-GovernmentWhy E-GovernmentWhy E-Government

Faster/better/cheaper Citizens want it for ease of access and convenience to

more information faster and cheaper Businesses need it to cut cost and move faster Government is demanding it:

– Paperwork Elimination Act

– Clinger-Cohen Act

– Cope with rising volume of transactions

– Increasing number of services

8

Government Environment and ContextGovernment Environment and ContextGovernment Environment and ContextGovernment Environment and Context All governments are being encouraged to go to

E-government– Rising expectations driven by Amazon.com etc– Demands for better, faster, cheaper, unified government

services by citizens and elected officials

Some governments not well positioned to do this

– Highly fragmented due to department autonomy– Stovepipe departments– Very political– Often weak central I/S– Obsolete incompatible systems– Proprietary, non-standard systems– Limited budgets

8 Strategic Challenges for eGovernment8 Strategic Challenges for eGovernment

25

Assertions About E-GovernmentAssertions About E-GovernmentAssertions About E-GovernmentAssertions About E-Government

E-Business is generating rising expectations that will impact every department and agency

E-Government requires processes that cross department boundaries at many levels. They challenge the current structure of state and regional administrations

E-Government requires new and rapidly evolving skills, stressing in-house staff

No one vendor can meet all needs, forcing a “best of breed” architecture and solution

Moving to e-government involves cost and risk which must be carefully identified and planned

E-Government is:– A process, not a destination– Constantly changing and evolving

Challenges for IT

30

Key Design PoliciesKey Design PoliciesKey Design PoliciesKey Design Policies Standards-based modular architecture

– Adherence to open standards Continuous operation

– No single points of failure through parallelism– Within Service Point and among service points– Disaster recovery

Privacy and security Scalability

– Growth without obsolescence– High performance systems– Parallelism where appropriate (SMP, clusters, DISA, load leveling)

Integration of applications and data sources through Service Broker

Minimize total life cycle cost Flexibility and extensibility through well-defined interfaces etc. Leverage existing infrastructure Accessible to all citizens

What Does This Mean?What Does This Mean?What Does This Mean?What Does This Mean?

Lines between public and private sectors will blur– Governments off-load low value services to service providers– Quicken facilitates tax filings– Auto excise tax paid through Autobytel.com– H&R Block collects taxes

Government focus will shift to core service delivery– Compliance– Code simplification– Close loop holes– Shared services (mail truck deliver meals on wheels)

Technology enables larger, more complex services (eg. national health insurance)

40

SummarySummarySummarySummary States must prepare for moving into the eGovernment era eGovernment must support citizens, government employees,

vendors, and trusted partners Design of the systems must be done by experts

– In-house– In-source– Outsource– Service providers

Users want access to services that are:– Secure– Reliable– Responsive– Easy-to-use– Full function

A well-designed and architected system is:– Faster to implement– Higher quality service– Lower life cycle cost

High quality information systems are the key to success!
