E-Governance G2B, G2C, G2G

e-Government refers to the use by government agencies of information technologies (such as Wide Area Networks, the Internet, and mobile computing) that have the ability to transform relations with citizens, businesses, and other arms of government. These technologies can serve a variety of different ends: better delivery of government services to citizens, improved interactions with business and industry, citizen empowerment through access to information, or more efficient government management. The resulting benefits can be less corruption, increased transparency, greater convenience, revenue growth, and/or cost reductions.

Traditionally, the interaction between a citizen or business and a government agency took place in a government office. With emerging information and communication technologies it is possible to locate service centers closer to the clients. Such centers may consist of an unattended kiosk in the government agency, a service kiosk located close to the client, or the use of a personal computer in the home or office.

Analogous to e-Commerce, which allows businesses to transact with each other more efficiently (B2B) and brings customers closer to businesses B2C, e-Government aims to make the interaction between government and citizens G2C, government and business enterprises G2B, and inter-agency relationships G2G more friendly, convenient, transparent, and inexpensive.

In fact, Information Technology and Information Highways are going to dominate the next century. Government therefore has to take this fact into account and create SMART governance (simple, moral, accountable, responsive and transparent government). governments that will be responsive to the needs of their citizenry and businesses alike.

Governments across the globe are trying to make this a reality through implementation of information technology initiatives. However, undertaking such initiatives without focusing on long-term goals will result in 'islands of excellence' and render a myopic vision of e-governance.
