The Italian Strategy for E-government Renzo Turatto
PREFACE • It is ten years from when E-gov entered as a priority in the Italian government program • From then, four different government administrations succeeded and E-gov still represents one of the objectives in the political agenda • Moreover, in spite of the different governments, most of the unleashed policy actions in this fields can be listed as part of the same unvarying E-gov strategy
The 3 Main Questions Of The E-gov Strategy • Why E-gov? • How far from the target? • Which policy to adopt?
Why E-gov? • Using the web technologies P.A. be more efficient • similarly to what happens in all information sectors, new technologies give the opportunity to change the PA production function • The effects: less resources for the same services (less paper, less mail services, less employees for the front office, the info services, etc)
Why E-gov? • Using the web technologies P.A. can offer new services, more suited to the citizen preferences • In the last years, in the information sector, the consumers choices fueled a new fast growing demand for online services • There exists an unexpressed demand of e-gov to discover and fulfill
Why E-gov? • Thanks to the web technologies transparency in P.A. choices and management turns into a fact • Often “open government” principles have been neglected even as a consequence of high costs and lack of organization • This argument doesn't apply anymore: today Internet and the WEB give the opportunity to fulfill the transparency principles easily and cheaply
Why E-gov? • To use Internet for providing new public services urges the P.A. to standardize its processes and rethink its organization • Today most of the P.A. IT solutions are based on old stand-alone architectures • The new cloud (web-based) architectures encourage the emerging of a dominant software capable to became a standard for all the P.A. engaged in the same functions

How far from the target? • European Union
How far from the target? • International benchmarking results: • The Italian E-gov supply is more or less in line with most of the European countries • What is unquestionable is the lack on the demand side
How far from the target? • More problems arise if you look beyond the national (average) data • Huge discrepancies between administration with: • more E-gov services available for the firms; less E-services for the citizen • In general, more E-gov solutions provided by the central administration; less E-services from the small/local administration (even if some suggestions contradict this a as rule)
Which policy to adopt? • In the last decade the government intervention focused over three main intervention areas: • E-government regulation • E-gov Infrastructures • Implementation of Key national projects • ad-hoc Financial support to the P.A. for developing new E-govsolutions
Which policy to adopt? • E-government regulation • E-services are asynchronous and not contextual, while in providing its services the “analogic” P.A. is with the beneficiary IDENTITY • E-services rely on E-document, while “analogic” P.A. services are on paper DOCUMENT COPY - DOCUMENT SIGNATURE – DOCUMENT BACKUP • E-services use e-mail, while “analogic” P.A. is based on certified mail CERTIFIED EMAIL • CAD - DecretoLegislativo 7 marzo 2005, n. 82
Which policy do adopt? • E-government Infrastructures for: • IDENTITY • SIGNATURE • BACKUP • CERFIFIED EMAIL • Trust and security • System interoperability and cloud solutions for local P.A. (key issues to promote E-gov usability)
Which policy to adopt? • Key national projects • The new National civil registry • Health (electronic prescriptions - electronic health records) • Justice (Civil and criminal court Document Management System) • School and Education (broadband - digital book - digital whiteboard - national content repository - school social network)
