@your.service - Issue 3
E-government Update
Welcome to @your.service, a regular round up of e-government news from New Zealand and around the world. @your.service brings together news items for the last 4-6 weeks that appear on the homepage.
We aim to reach a broad audience, including government people, suppliers of IT and telecommunications services, people in the community who are following the progress of e-government, as well as international audiences.
Issue 3 - October 2001
In the third issue of @your.service we focus on two broad areas - portal countdown - and the glue of e-government - interoperability. These areas are connected; the portal and its supporting metadata provides a consistent and reliable interface into government services and information, while the capability for agencies to interoperate behind the scenes allows for online services to reflect the idea of "joined up government". The portal work is a high priority for a delivery in June 2002, whereas the interoperability work is preparing the ground for subsequent enhancements to online service delivery.
