E-Government for Simplification
Most OECD countries view e-government as a lever for change, a key tool to support and enhance the implementation of policies in other areas. E-Government has proven its advantages in simplifying the public administration: it allows administrations to share information and data internally and with users more easily; it enables administrations to broaden the channels of service delivery to include e-government services; it provides administrations with tools to ensure integrated and “seamless” services. E-Government delivers a set of tools enabling the public sector to reconsider and simplify the regulatory context around public sector business processes, and to use this set of tools to create simpler business processes within public sector organisations or across organisational boundaries and levels of government.
