What is e-Government

e-Government is all about government agencies working together to use technology so that they can better provide individuals and businesses with government services and information. It is not a massive Information Technology (IT) project. Much of it is about

establishing common standards across government,

delivering services more effectively,

providing ways for government agencies to work together

all using the best technologies that are available.

In other words, the e-Government should not be understood as the application only of the information technology IT in the Government's agencies, because he is much wider than that. As an example, although the information technology IT is being applied in the government agencies by dozens of years, the need of an integrated e-Government system is now understood as absolutely necessary to integrate all the relationships between a Government and the individuals and the businesses.

e-Government is not a fashion item; it's a major step forward in communications that has been accepted internationally. It's not an option! It's important the government helps minimize the time the public and business community spend on transactions with government. Tax dollars need to be spent efficiently to improve the service continuously, and e-Government is the key.

Why get involved with e-Government

Today we expect information and services to be online and available around the clock in our homes, schools, libraries and work places. We have been quick to adopt new ways of communicating both in business and in our personal life. Government is responding to these new demands.

e-Government will deliver enhanced services to us as individuals and provide a better environment to build a knowledge-based economy and sustained prosperity. e-Government makes it easier to do business with government. It also makes it cheaper. In England it has been estimated that it can cost as little as US$ 1-7 each time you use a service online. This compares with US$ 2-200 to deliver the same service over the counter, by mail or telephone, or by sending out a brochure.

How can we be sure the money is being spent on the right things

Our MBA of Public Administration & e-Government Course is focusing on getting the right building blocks in place. Technology is a rapidly changing area, so it is inevitable that government plans will need to be adapted, which is why the e-Government strategy is flexible and will be reviewed at least every 12 months. It's a bit like building a house - once the foundations have been laid, providing they are sufficiently solid, changes to the design can be made as the work progresses.

Two Diplomas

This is an option and that doesn't have additional cost.

This course MBA of Public Administration & e-Government has 70 lessons, and the first 39 lessons are similar to the total 39 lessons of the course MBA of Chief Information Officer CIO. Like this being, when concluding the 39 initial lessons of the course MBA of Public Administration & e-Government and the respective test, we will be able to issue you an additional Diploma of MBA of Chief Information Officer CIO.
