PROCESS AUTOMATION — Enable citizens and businesses to do more themselves online — and benefit from faster service, greater compliance rates and increased satisfaction.
The promise of e-government is simple: better service and lower costs. But only by designing online services around the end-users' needs can governments truly benefit from e-government. It is not simply a case of making information and forms available online. Citizens and businesses must be able to quickly find information that is relevant to their current situation and needs. And fill out all applicable forms as easily as possible.
As Michelle d'Auray, CIO of the Canadian government puts it: "Citizens and businesses don't care what level of government they interact with, they just want to be able to get things done." Comprehensively yet quickly. So when they have to fill out forms, they don't want to read a 20-page guide or have to decipher which parts they must fill out. And they also don't want to have to re-enter the same information when multiple forms are involved.
