Business approach - business case • Meeting e-government agenda (by 2005) • What are the Content Management issues? • Not to replicate ONS (at national level) / Regional Observatory / Partners / District Councils; • Keep issues focussed on local characteristics; • Need to be specific to customer needs (examine nature of enquiries).
Business approach - enquiries database • Monitors: • Who contacted us (clients): • Classified into 16 groups (e.g. General Public, Members, Charities, District Councils, etc.) • Thus split internal / external clients • What asked for: • Write in and/or check-box of most popular products; • How enquiry processed (‘phone, email, etc.)
Types of down-load able data • Analogue Data • Fixed format (e.g. pdf (with tables and maps pasted as “pictures”)

Types of down-load able data • Analogue Data • Digital Data • Interactive Digital Data (in a template) • e.g. Clients chooses area or variable and the template gets “populated” with data for chosen area / variable.
