Introduction to e-Government
                      e-Government

• e-Government is the delivery of government
  services and information to the public using
  electronic means. In other words, it is the use of ICT
  to promote more efficient government by allowing
  better access to information and making government
  more accountable to citizens;
• Government service delivery is about lightening the
  necessary burden of governance from the shoulders
  of citizens and businesses;
e-Government Objectives
         e-Government

• Achieve greater operational efficiency
• To offer improved public services
  accessible through a web
• Be more transparent and accountable to
  citizens
  The average citizen today is more aware of
  his rights, more demanding of quality and
  more conscious of his responsibilities than
  ever before.
Government Transformation
               Drivers

• Government are being asked to do more with
  less.
• How do agencies and IT executives manage
  such a broad range of activities across the
  government, and between the government
  agencies and their customers and partners?
• Can they really hope to bring order to
  complex business processes that require the
  coordination of greater amounts of agencies,
  people, information, and transactions?
Barriers and Mitigations in
         front of the e-Government
                      e-Government
•   Uncertainty in Organization Architecture
•   Absence of process-oriented approach
•   Automation of Inefficiency
•   Islands of Automation
•   Resistance to Change
•   Insufficient Skills
•   Insufficient Interoperability
•   Security Effectiveness
Golden Role of Automation

• The first rule of any technology is that
  automation applied to an efficient
  operation will magnify the efficiency.
• The second is that automation applied to
  an inefficient operation will magnify the
  inefficiency.
                         Bill Gates, Microsoft Corporation
BPM Meaning and Rules

“To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.”
                                              Winston Churchill
                                              Winston Churchill


 • Business Process Management is the conception,
   design, observation and continuous improvement of
   business processes.
 • Improved business performance is delivered by
   streamlining to remove inefficiency and redundancy
   that has evolved in a manually designed processes.
If you can't describe what you are doing as a process, you
                             don't know what you're doing

• Streamline and consolidate offline processes before
  putting them online.
• Give a measurable convenience for the information
  consumer, rather than the information producer, is the
  primary goal;
• Foster citizens' involvement in the governing process
  itself and strength the partnership between the public
  sector and the private citizen;
• Turn attention to optimizing the online experience from
  the perspective of the end-user;
• Policy makers and designers should encourage
  stakeholders;
BPM in Public Sector

• Ensuring Process Consistency. Most companies
  and public organizations have great difficulty in defining
  their business processes. One group may define it one
  way, while others may define it very differently.
• Optimizing Business Processes. It is impossible
  to optimize business processes if organization cannot
  define them. Well defined processes could be changed
  and measured for the results.
• Automating Cumbersome Manual Processes.
  Automation is only effective when applied to efficient
  operations.

Conclusion

  Critical to the success of e-Government
transformation is the understanding that e-
      Government is not just about the
   automation of existing process and the
   mitigation of inefficiencies. Instead it is
 about the creation of new processes and
  new relationships between the governor
               and the governed.
