Development and Implementation Issues of E-Government

The Effect
The development and implementation of e-government involves consideration of its effects on the organisation of the public sector, and on the nature of the services provided by the state.

Various Impacts
Governments may need to consider the impact by gender, age, language skills, as well as the effect on literacy, numeracy, education standards and IT literacy etc. Economic concerns include the effect of non-use, non-availability or inaccessibility of e-government, or of other digital resources,upon the structure of society and the potential impact and economics.

Economic and Revenue Concerns
Include e-government's effect on taxation, debt, Gross Domestic Product, commerce and trade, corporate governance and it's effect in non-government business practices, industry and trade, especially the ISP and internet infrastructure.

Technology Issues
Implications for software choices ( between open source and proprietary software, and between programming languages) technology flows into the masses in  the neighborhood areas through forms such as kiosks ( AXS and S.A.M) for e-government services such as payment of bills and fines.

Management and Financial Issues
Management issues related to services integration, local e-government, and internet governance. Financial considerations, such as the cost of implementation/effect on existing budgets, effect on government procurement and funding.

Legal Implications
Legal implications include freedom of information and privacy concerns. An example would be the NRIC. Every Singapore citizen has a NRIC and a lot of information is tied together with this identification number. This places the citizen in a very vulnerable situation whereby his information can be used for illicit purposes as his information is all stored in the central server of the government system. Information may include bank account numbers and family information.

  2. Whenever you want to start a new company specially based on work of electronic media you always have to go through a long process of documentation and work. This blog well explains those required processes.

  3. You may also not yet know at which process tolerances your device design would still function, so you might start at the edge of the “process window,” and through iteration move the process towards more common and easily achieved specifications. Understanding how close your device is to the edge of a process window, and making an effort to fix that during development, will help to avoid unpleasant surprises of low yield when moving to volume production. strategy thought leadership
