Across the globe, e-government services and portals are being created, with the current design trend being citizen-oriented websites -- where content and services are organised around the anticipated needs of web visitors.

As a tool to achieve better government, e-government is offering potential solutions to leaders across the whole of government including Director Generals, Business Operation Heads, CIOs / IT Directors and Managers, Government-wide e-government planners and co-ordinators, and most importantly, the Ministers and Governors; all have a role to play. The roles of these leaders differ, and even the role of an individual leader changes as e-government develops in a given country. At the beginning there may be an immediate need to foster innovation and diffusion of technology, whereas organisational change becomes more important once IT applications are in place. Certain key e-government management principles are common to all leaders, though their relative importance will differ.

3 09:45-10:30 Interactive panel discussion Multi-channel public service delivery and the significance of mobility A multi-channel service delivery approach allows organisations to provide the best all-round user experience across multiple communication channels or touch points. It also allows users to move seamlessly and in real-time from one communication channel to another, to meet their need for information and complete transactions. Global IT buzz words have transitioned from networking to cloud computing and now to mobility. With a mobile network, departments can access ICT resources anytime and anywhere. And by adopting a comprehensive mobility strategy, they can provide added value and enhance public satisfaction through improved marketing, offices and services. This panel provides multi-channel example from a neighbouring country and highlights the significance of new trends in mobility. Viewpoint one: Customer focused multi-channel approach Multi-channel public service experience Efficient and cost effective government operations Innovative public services Viewpoint two: The significance and challenges to implementing government mobility Services on the go How can you ensure public service security?

This is also emphasized in the World Economic Forum s The Future of Government report. In this context, the role of enterprise architecture as a disciplined and structured approach for planning and realizing connected government cannot be overstated. Connected governments have deeper engagement, encourage participation and collaboration, and exhibit greater openness and transparency. Resultingly, connected governments deliver services that are more personalized and choice-based anchored around the whole-of-government paradigm. This panel discussion gives you the key components for your organisation to successfully implement, connect with governments and reap the benefits of enterprise architecture.

With the growing number of personal data devices and other sophisticated technology, criminals are becoming better able to conceal their actions. Protecting critical network infrastructures requires a comprehensive view of security that combines physical, digital and procedural components. This session highlights the real need for security, distinguishes between primary and lateral priorities, and demonstrates that it is as easy to secure data as it is to compromise it.
