The seminar was conducted in three sections, namely "Re-imagining and re-inventing the government using e-Forms" and "Return on investment using e-forms", conveyed by Leon Chua and "Business process re-engineering using e-Forms" presented by Ng Wei Ping, both representatives from TechnoNet.
The briefings discussed issues such as the structuring and process of integrating digital and paper formats, and methods to ensure multi-level communication with users and the service providers at the same time.
The seminar mainly highlighted the benefits of process enhancement whereby it could potentially cut down processing time, and improve accuracy and efficiency.
The outcomes of effective e-governance include the creation of e-forms for internal use, the replacement of fax and email transactions as well as providing citizen portal access and efficient inter-departmental workflows.

"The use of technology alone does not necessarily equal progress, but rather it is the effective and proper use of current technology which will prove to be an important asset in any organisation" he said.
The Minister of Development mentioned in his speech that a wide range of government strategies currently exist to improve the efficiency of the government workforce in terms of information technology.
