  • Behind every good e-Gov program ...

    Tools for managing Web content are as varied as the agency sites they support

    The nature of government Web sites has changed dramatically over the past five years. The number of Web pages published by state, local and federal agencies has grown exponentially, and the expectations of citizens, businesses and other government agencies have grown just as much.

    On top of that, the need for compliance with regulations for everything from record retention to accessibility highlights the need for more than just simple editing and posting tools.

  • IKT-Studie soll Österreich internationalen Spitzenplatz sichern

    Serentschy: "Derzeit stagnieren wir auf hohem Niveau"

    Georg Serentschy von der Rundfunk und Telekom Regulierungs-GmbH (RTR) und Andreas Reichhardt (BMVIT) haben gestern, Mittwoch, den von Vizekanzler Hubert Gorbach in Auftrag gegebenen IKT-Masterplan vorgestellt. Mit 44 Maßnahmen soll Österreich vom Mittelfeld, in dem es sich in der IKT (Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologie)-Branche befindet, in die EU- und Weltspitze geführt werden.

  • Making ICT more effective

    Throughout the past two decades, governments internationally have responded to fundamental changes in the world economy and their respective environments by initiating programmes of public service reform. Experience suggests that while much has been achieved, one of the more formidable challenges is shaping and delivering systemic change programmes that have a whole-of-government impact. This focus on systemic change becomes all the more critical when one considers the powerful role of modern ICT systems in public service systems. The effective deployment of ICT has long been a hallmark of excellent public service modernisation programmes.

  • The changing role of government IT departments

    The implications of public sector technology going mainstream.

    The IT function in government organizations is at a crossroads. According to a recent study, 18 per cent of Chief Information Officers (CIOs) said that they expected their jobs to be eliminated in the next five years. The very success of technology is threatening to undermine the traditional position of IT departments. As government technology enters the organizational mainstream, public sector IT professionals need to redefine their roles within the organization – or face their inevitable fate.

  • Uganda: Government Has Commissioned Feasibility Study for a Fiber-Optic Backbone

    Another team of technical experts from the Chinese government are doing a parallel study of their own following the signing of an e-government memorandum of understanding (MoU) with a Chinese technology company, Huawei Technologies Limited.

    Dr. Ham Mulira, the minister for communication and ICT said that when the two teams are done with their independent studies, they will come together to draw up a map that will show the government where the optic-fibre cable will pass.

  • USA: e-Gov meets Web 2.0

    Not content to lag online trends, agencies adopt latest Web apps

    Each year, thousands of people contact the Veterans Affairs Department asking where long-lost relatives and others who served in the military are buried. VA has always had the information on hand—in some form—across various sets of internal electronic records. Historically, people would call or write the agency, and diligent employees would find the location and return the answers.

  • USA: Government now drives technology, Cisco CEO says

    Once a technology follower, government now pioneers IT that will make agencies more productive and help drive the overall economy, Cisco Systems Inc. CEO John Chambers said today.

    “Government is starting to lead in its implementation of technology to change process,” Chambers said during the opening address at FOSE 2004 in Washington.

  • USA: Innovation across the pond: The future of IT infrastructure

    It used to be that all it took to run a major information technology project in government was a name. Until 2002, an IT investment business case submitted to the Office of Management and Budget provided no other information about the leader of a project. But now, OMB insists on evidence that project managers are qualified, and offers specific guidance on what that means in terms of skill levels and accountability. It also requires that the project managers use earned value management and other sophisticated techniques. These new requirements started a minor revolution, and agencies that got on board have seen profound benefits, including reduced paperwork and superior results. Those that resisted have seen their budget requests challenged and sometimes rejected.
