EGovernment is the
process of making Government information and services
available to businesses and citizens via the Internet.
The Office of the e-Envoy is leading the drive
to get the UK online, to ensure that the country,
its citizens and its businesses derive maximum
benefit from the knowledge economy. To support
this aim, the Office has three core objectives:
- to make the UK
the best environment in the world for e-commerce
by 2002
- to ensure that
everyone who wants it has access to the Internet
by 2005
- to make all Government
services available electronically by 2005
In order
to achieve this the Government "is intent
on securing the best value for money in its
IT procurements by encouraging the development
of a flourishing IT industry which supplies
both proprietary and Open Source Software solutions
to the public sector. Government procurement
decisions will be based on the ability of the
solutions to deliver effective and economic
systems and services." (Douglas Alexander
MP, 23 July 2002).

systems developed specifically to help Local
Authorites achieve eGIF compliance.
