Consulting Slide 2 Contents Introduction Setting the Platform for the e-Government Enterprise Role Private Sector can Play

Consulting Slide 3 Introduction Today, many government agencies are moving beyond information-only websites to setting full service internet portals These portals offer a single entry point for the citizen/customer to access integrated services and information But portals represent more than just a change in customer service delivery – they forecast the coming of a new government enterprise Significant changes and support required not only by public sector personnel but by all stakeholders

Consulting Slide 4 The New e-Government Model Changes the way Public Sector operates Provides a community view into government for information and transaction processing Facilitates B2G, G2B, C2G, G2C, G2G Leverages the use of legacy systems Improves citizens’ access to government Improves vendors’ access to their government customers Introduces three key dimensions: e-Customer e-Marketplace e-Enterprise

Consulting Slide 5 e-Customer e-Customers do not care about which department they have to submit their e- payments, e-forms, e-requests, etc.; their only concern is locating the appropriate place in the portal to fulfill their needs. e-citizens no longer should have to deal with multiple entities in multiple ways.

Consulting Slide 7 e-Marketplace e-Government should simplify the means in which goods and services are acquired across the entire organisation. Using internet portals, government procurement officers can have: direct, centralised electronic access to vendors’ product information performance ratings and customer service capabilities This will allow them to derive more benefits from market competition
