What is eGovernment?
eGovernment is the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to improve the activities of public sector organizations.
Some definitions restrict e-government to Internet-enabled applications only, or only to interactions between government and outside groups.
Here, we do not - all digital ICTs are included; all public sector activities are included.
In our definition, then, governments have been practicing e-government for more than 50 years: using that first mainframe in the Statistics Office was "e-government". We just didn't give it that name 50 years ago.
What Does eGovernment Solutions Cover?
As we know that every country has its own requirement and nothing can be ready to fit all countries. We found the best methodolofy for providing egovernment solutions is through segmenting the sector into coverage donains then the solutions provided in the form of componants that can be added and customized according to the needs.
There are three main domains to be covered by the solutions of e-government :
- Improving government processes through eAdministration
- Connecting citizens through eCitizens and eServices .
- Building external interactions through eSociety
Respectively, these particularly address the problems that government is too costly, too inefficient and too ineffective (e-admininstration); too self-serving and too inconvenient (e-citizens and e-services); and too insular (e-society).
In the following sections or articles we will highligh in more details each of thes donains and then listing of the egovernment solutions componants .
