  • Study: Public Sector Title Holding the slide rule up to EU-funded research

    EU-funded research has played a key role in transforming Europe’s public services in recent years, but more can be done to ensure they benefit fully from developments in information technology (IT), according to a recently published study on the sector.

    While making a valuable contribution to Europe, the findings of a 30-month study, measuring the impact on the public sector of EU-funded research, show that more could be done to match projects’ objectives to the reality on the ground.

    Although the U.S. government did rise one slot in the rankings from last year, it is falling behind other countries in broadband access, public-sector innovation and implementation of the latest interactive tools to federal Web sites, according to a study released Aug. 17 by the Brookings Institution, a Washington-based think thank.

    The U.S. has slipped to sixth place in a worldwide ranking of e-business readiness, its worst showing since 2000, when the study was first conducted.

    The major reason for the U.S. slip is its broadband per capita penetration of only 7%, according to the 2004 E-Readiness Rankings, which were done by The Economist Intelligence Unit Ltd. in cooperation with IBM's Institute for Business Value. South Korea leads the world in broadband penetration, with 27%, according to the study.

  • Study: Want E-Gov? Pick Up the Phone

    In an attempt to find out which electronic channels work best for local governments -- and what local citizens think of the channels available for using e-government services -- the United Kingdom's Office of the Deputy Prime Minister conducted a study called the e-Citizen National Project.

    It's really about why some people adopt e-services and others don't, which we looked at in the Spring 2004 issue of Government Technology's Public CIO. Writer Bill Eggers found that in the United States, our various levels of government have serious work to do to attract more people to e-government.

    Over 90% of public service providers now have an on-line presence, and 48% of basic public services1 are fully interactive, says the European Commission’s fifth annual survey of online government services in Europe. Availability and interactivity measures show that EU’s new Member States are now where the EU 15 ones were just two years ago. The challenge now is to ensure that online government services are used as widely and extensively as possible, so as to deliver the maximum possible efficiency gains for business and citizens (see IP/05/41).

    The UK has slipped in the world e-government rankings, according to the latest research from IT services and consulting group Accenture.

    In a survey of 22 countries the UK has fallen from 9th to 12th in the maturity of its e-government services, Accenture found.

  • Sweden leads the way in e-government

    A new study from IDC shows that Sweden is among the five leading countries in Europe in egovernment implementation. The market for solutions for electronic exchange of information between government and society is growing fast, despite the economic downturn in Sweden, and the market for egovernment solutions is expected to grow from SEK 1.7 billion in 2003 to SEK 2.8 billion in 2007. There is still some way to go, however, before citizens have a single point of contact with public administrations — data needs to be standardized, applications redesigned, automatic services developed, and work procedures changed.
