About the Technology in Government & the Public Sector Sydney Summit 2008
Information and Communications Technology (ICT) including e-government services technology is evolving at such a rapid pace across all sectors of the public sector. For government and the public sector, ICT provides tremendous opportunities to deliver services more efficiently. Today, more than ever government and public sector agencies need to ensure a more comprehensive service to its citizens.
Governments are now confirming that they are looking at ways at leveraging on partnerships that will bring about synergy and long term sustainable programs. Thus e-citizen programs will bridge the digital divide and create an information society and K Government (Knowledge Government).Streamlining current processes will not deliver an end – to –end solution for eservices. What is needed is a seamless IT backbone for a fast reliable and efficient connectivity, data storage, access and privacy across ALL agencies.
This ICT and e-government Summit is your chance to network with the influencers, innovators, procurement decision makers across all levels of government and the public sector, in a central Sydney location, who are responsible for ICT procurement decision - making. Delegates will come from Federal – State and local government.
ICT and e-government spending has boomed in recent years with billions of dollars invested on ICT and e-government initiatives. The recent trade agreements signed with the US and Chinese Governments augers well for future growth and development of this technology sector. The John Howard Government has been proactive in reducing red tape in Innovation funding by introducing the (The Regulation Reduction Incentive Fund- RRIF). This program has been put in place to reduce regulation across all government agencies. Thus paving the way to provide e-services to citizens in a more efficient and effective way. |
