January 2003 Web-based survey on electronic public services ordered by the European Commission – DG Information Society (p. 43): The website of the social security administration in Belgium (www. socialsecurity. be) is a good example of the combination of back-office integration and an e-portal solution. This site is a frontoffice result of a long-term effort that the Belgian government made last years linking different databases. The site is a unique window for social security in Belgium See http: //europa. eu. int/information_society/eeurope/benchmarking/ list/source_data_pdf/2 nd_measurement_final_report. pdf (p. 11) Crossroads Bank for Social Security Federal Public Service for ICT (FEDICT) 2 10/02/2003
What is E-government ? n n E-government is a continuous optimization of service delivery and governance by transforming internal and external relationships through technology, internet and new media external relationships - government <-> citizen - government <-> business n internal relationships - government <-> government - government <-> employees n all relationships - are bidirectional - can be within a country or border-crossing Crossroads Bank for Social Security Federal Public Service for ICT (FEDICT) 3 10/02/2003
Government n not monolithic - EU - in every country • • n n federal level regions communities provinces municipalities parapublic institutions private instutions participating in delivery of public services … integrated E-government is based upon common strategy, multilateral agreements and interoperability E-government contains the opportunity to realize one virtual electronic government with full respect for every specific competence Crossroads Bank for Social Security Federal Public Service for ICT (FEDICT) 4 10/02/2003
Advantages n efficiency gains - in terms of costs: same services at lower total costs, e. g. • unique information collection using co-ordinated notions and administrative instructions • less re-encoding of information by electronic information exchange • less contacts • functional task sharing concerning information management, information validation and application development (distributed information systems) - in terms of quantity: more services at same total cost, e. g. • all services are available at any time, from anywhere and from any device • integrated service delivery - in terms of speed: same services at same total cost in less time • reduction of waiting and travel time • direct interaction with competent governmental institution • real time feedback for the user Crossroads Bank for Social Security Federal Public Service for ICT (FEDICT) 5 10/02/2003
Advantages (ctd) n effectiveness gains - in terms of quality: same services at same total cost in same time, but to a higher quality standard, e. g. • • • more corrected service delivery personalized and participative service delivery more transparant and comprehensive service delivery more secure service delivery possibility of quality control on service delivery process by customer - in terms of type of services: new types of services, e. g. • • push system: automatic granting of or information about services active search of non-take-up using datawarehousing techniques controlled management of own personal information personalized simulation environments Crossroads Bank for Social Security Federal Public Service for ICT (FEDICT) 6 10/02/2003
E-government: a structural reform process n n ICT is only a means by which a result may be obtained E-government requires - considering information as a strategic resource for all government activity - change of basic mindset: from government centric to customer centric - re-engineering of processes within each government institution, each government level and across government levels - clear definition of mission and core tasks of every governmental institution Crossroads Bank for Social Security Federal Public Service for ICT (FEDICT) 7 10/02/2003
E-government: a structural reform process (ctd) n E-government requires (ctd) - co-operation between governmental institutions: one virtual electronic government, with respect for mission and core tasks of each governmental institution and government level - co-operation between government and private sector - adequate legal environment elaborated at the correct level - interoperability framework: ICT, security, unique identification keys, harmonized concepts - implementation with a decentralized approach, but with coordinated planning and program management (think global, act local) - adequate measures to prevent a digital divide Crossroads Bank for Social Security Federal Public Service for ICT (FEDICT) 8 10/02/2003
Information as resource: implications n information modelling - information is being modelled in such a way that the model fits in as close as possible with the real world • definition of information elements • definition of attributes of information elements • definition of relations between information elements - information modelling takes into account as much as possible the expectable use cases of the information - the information model can be flexibly extended or adapted when the real world or the use cases of the information change Crossroads Bank for Social Security Federal Public Service for ICT (FEDICT) 9 10/02/2003
Information as resource: implications (ctd) n unique collection and re-use of information - information is only collected for well-defined purposes and in a proportional way to these purposes - all information is collected once, as close to the authentic source as possible - information is collected via a supplier-chosen channel, but preferably in an electronic way, using uniform basic services (single sign on, arrival receipt of a file, notification for each message, …) - information is collected according to the information model and on the base of uniform administrative instructions Crossroads Bank for Social Security Federal Public Service for ICT (FEDICT) 10 10/02/2003
Information as resource: implications (ctd) n unique collection and re-use of information (ctd) - with the possibility of quality control by the supplier before the transmission of the information - the collected information is validated once according to an established task sharing, by the most entitled institution or by the institution which has the greatest interest in a correct validation - and then shared and re-used by authorized users Crossroads Bank for Social Security Federal Public Service for ICT (FEDICT) 11 10/02/2003
Information as resource: implications (ctd) n management of information - information in all forms (e. g. voice, print, electronic or image) is managed efficiently through its life cycle - a functional task sharing is established indicating which institution stores which information in an authentic way, manages the information and keeps it at the disposal of the authorized users - information is stored according to the information model - information can be flexibly assembled according to ever changing legal notions - all information is subject to the application of agreed measures to ensure integrity and consistency Crossroads Bank for Social Security Federal Public Service for ICT (FEDICT) 12 10/02/2003
Information as resource: implications (ctd) n management of information (ctd) - every institution has to report probable improprieties of information to the institution that is designated to validate the information - every institution that has to validate information according to the agreed task sharing, has to examine the reported probable improprieties, to correct them when necessary and to communicate the correct information to every known interested institution - information will be retained and managed as long as there exists a business need, a legislative or policy requirement, or, preferably anonimized or encoded, when it has historical or archival importance Crossroads Bank for Social Security Federal Public Service for ICT (FEDICT) 13 10/02/2003
Information as resource: implications (ctd) n electronic exchange of information - once collected and validated, information is stored, managed and exchanged electronically to avoid transcribing and reentering it manually - electronic information exchange can be initiated by • the institution that disposes of information • the institution that needs information • the institution that manages the interoperability framework - electronic information exchanges take place on the base of a functional and technical interoperabilty framework that evolves permanently but gradually according to open market standards, and is independent from the methods of information exchange Crossroads Bank for Social Security Federal Public Service for ICT (FEDICT) 14 10/02/2003
Information as resource: implications (ctd) n electronic exchange of information (ctd) - available information is used for the automatic granting of benefits, for prefilling when collecting information and for information delivery to the concerned persons Crossroads Bank for Social Security Federal Public Service for ICT (FEDICT) 15 10/02/2003
