E-Governance Strategy 2002-2005
Update 2003
Introduction
This e-Governance strategy has been developed in the context of the Council's aims for e-Governance and, in particular, the target the Council has set to achieve 100% electronic service delivery where possible by 2005/06. It also embraces and responds to the wider modernisation agenda affecting local government including:
- political structures and arrangements
- the duty to prepare and lead on the implementation of a community strategy
- the drive to 'join up' public service provision
- a tighter performance management regime, currently developing under CPA
- a stronger focus on the inter-related elements of corporate governance
- the need to ensure inclusiveness and equality of access to public services.
The details of the Council's plan for e-government are contained in its Implementing Electronic Government Statements submitted to and approved by Government in November 2003. This technical strategy highlights the key issues to be addressed and the technical solutions needed for implementation over the next three years.
The strategy builds on the achievements of the last five years in particular and the developments undertaken in developing an e-organisation in the areas of staff, systems, data and networks. It relates these areas to the outward facing world of e-governance i.e. e-services, e-democracy, e-community and e-business, through a series of interfaces.
Finally, the appendices detail the technical requirements, new data storage and security arrangements, project management processes and a guide to the approximate costs of development to meet the 100% e-delivery target by the end of 2005.
