“The goal to provide transformed government (T-Gov) services comprises of an integrated back office for government agencies, migration of information and services between government agencies, and the provision of e-government services for about 200 organisation as a one-stop service,” says Sak Segknoonthod, Director of the Electronic Government Agency (EGA).
Sak said the EGA is taking big leaps to develop e-government services so that members of the public and private-sector organisations could easily access information and services.
“Such e-government services will create equality in treatment, reductions in costs and transparency for government business. People and private businesses will be able to use information technology to access e-government services anywhere and anytime,” he said.
Among the agency’s many IT development initiatives is the development of a cyber-ID Directory for all government staff, which includes information on names, e-mail addresses, telephone numbers and organisations.
The cyber IDs will be used to offer a single sign-on for government staff over the Internet.
“The agency has now offered cyber IDs to about 120,000 out of a total of about 1 million government staff. We expect to offer them all cyber IDs over the next four years,” Sak said.
“This will also support a government-messaging infrastructure, through which government organisations will be able to communicate via the Internet.”
Sak also revealed that the agency plans on developing an e-government cloud-computing service, an e-notary service, and e-archive applications.
