2. Is this citizen-centered?

3. Background: The President’s Management Agenda Focus on Expanding E-Government To Move From Agency-centered to Citizen-centered • The Vision: an order of magnitude improvement in the federal government’s value to the citizen; with decisions in minutes or hours, not weeks or months.E-Government Definition: the use of digital technologies to transform government operations in order to improve effectiveness, efficiency, and service delivery. • The Principles: • Citizen-Centered, Results-Oriented, Market-based • Integral component of President’s Management Agenda • Simplify and Unify • “Government likes to begin things - to declare grand new programs and causes. But good beginnings are not the measure of success. What matters in the end is completion. Performance. Results. Not just making promises, but making good on promises." President George W. Bush

4. Lesson Learned: Transformation Was Required Chronic Problems E-Problems in 2001 • Few gains from “islands of automation” • Fad buying --shows people are open to change, but ... • Technology does not replace good management, but good government management requires technology • Communication gap between IT and Lines of Business • Lack of Business Cases and Enterprise Architecture; Few performance plan successes • Computer Security • 5600 G2B, G2G, & G2C Transactions to be put on-line • About 1000 intragovernmental transactions to be put on-line • 33+ million web pages operational across the 22,000 federal government websites • Process integration and leveraging redundant investments will require: multi-agency solutions, peer-to-peer models, access controls and “trust” tools

5. The E-Government Initiative Is Focused on Results that Matter to the Citizen • E-Gov is making government more responsive to citizens.Electronic commerce and Internet technology have made daily tasks easier and quicker and the U.S. government did the same internally and in providing service for U.S. citizens. • E-Gov gets agencies to use modern, trustworthy technologies to become more productive and respond faster and better to the needs of American citizens. • E-Gov gets agencies to use e-business tools to lessen paperwork burdens and become more efficient. • E-Gov provides tools for all levels – local, state and federal – of government to work better together. • Under the E-Gov Initiative, government websites were restructured in an easier, smarter, faster way citizens to get the services and information they want.

6. Why We Focused on E-government, and not Just IT: Intra-agency The Internet is the primary means for collaboration Agency to business Inter- and Intra-governmental Agency to the public The Internet is the primary mean for citizens contacting government
