Digital Government 2006 conference is the platform for the
convening of government officials and architects of e-Government
projects to discuss the challenges, achievements and the progress
towards realizing the promise of Digital Government.
The emergence of the digital and knowledge-based economy has
affected both the roles and functions of the public sector. While
assuming traditional roles in areas such as legislation, defense,
finance, health care, environment, foreign affairs and information
communication,
the governments all across Asia are now required to take on new roles
of harnessing the power of information technology and pave the way for
change across the different government bodies on this wide spectrum of
issues.
Citizen-Centric Government is the ultimate goal and digitizing is
merely a process towards realizing this goal. This conference takes
the delegates through the first step towards digital government
bridging the digital divide, capacity building, public sector
reformation, designing the government enterprise architecture and
ensuring interoperability to the next phase of digital government of
e-Procurement,
knowledge management and mobile government.
