The continuing pressure of social and internal factors strengthens the need for a further administrative modernization
International pressure by competition
• Various innovative approaches towards e-government in other countries
• Customer, i.e. enterprise orientation and rapid permit processing are important factors for attractiveness of a country in the global competition for investors
New models of administration
• International approach of "New Public Management"
• German administrative reform in the nineties under the concept of the "Neue Steuerungsmodell"
Expectations of the citizens
• Experience of the rapidity of the internet
• Expectation of fast, cheap and efficient action by the state and the administration
• Expectation of being treated as a client instead of a solicitor
Technological change
• Growing connectivity of economy and private persons forces administration to catch up
• Digitalization of information and communication eases the coordination tasks of the administration

• 24/7/265 – Citizen services available on-line around the clock
• Information, communication and interaction
• General availability, e.g. by kiosk system
The ultimate vision of e-government is the virtual town hall – the modernization of all fields of administration by the new techniques and media
• Promotion of economic developmentand permit processing on-line
• E-procurement
• Electronic communication with other administrations
• Administration guide / "phone book"
• Joint processing, e.g. of permits or reforms
• Connected IT-landscape without interfaces
• Electronic internal communication of administration
• Electronic internal exchange of documents
• Appropriate partners for operation, financing, hard- and software, content, etc.
• e-processes – complete electronic workflow and document management, supporting the citizen services

• Assured financing

This way, the vision embraces much more than the offering of citizen services on-line – the ideal is a parallel internal modernization of the administration

Partial modernizationPartial modernization Overall modernizationOverall modernization
• Only limited cost savings• No improvement of internal efficiency• Partial understanding of e-government• Possibilities of new techniques are not fully used
• Complete realization of savings potential• More efficient processing• Global understanding of e-government in the frame of
administrative modernization• New techniques and media are used in all spheres of the
administration, front and back office
• Offer of citizen services on-line• Internal processing in the old form – numerous media
breaks1)
• No redesign of internal processes
• Offer of citizen services on-line• Internal processing in seamless electronic workflow –
avoidance of media breaks• Check and optimization of processes
e-Government – partial or overall modernization of the administration
1) A classic example: the citizen's e-mail is printed and put into the circulation file

If internal modernization takes place, e-government is a means to lower costs – despite the initial investments
Principle
1) To be reduced by choice of appropriate partners for financing - see pages on financing2) E.g. no more typing of paper forms into a computer program. Example: German electronic tax declaration3) Examples: Munich and Muenster – see pages on document management4) Example: Police of Baden-Wuerttemberg – see pages on e-procurement
Drivers of costs1)Drivers of costs1) Drivers for savingsDrivers for savings
• Development of e-strategy• Development of applications• Investments in necessary hardware• Training of employees• Public relations
• Cheaper electronic processing, e.g. by– avoidance of media breaks2)
– avoidance of sorting- and filing-time3)
– automatized processing, e.g. of orders4)
• Growth of these effects by further distribution of internet usage and acceptance of the new services by the citizens
• Cost of investments for additional service decreases through effects of scale and through learning effects

Though there are numerous examples for e-government in Germany, in most cases only isolated services are realised electronically
E-signature
– Bremen, Nürnberg, Esslingen, (Chip card)
– Memmelsdorf (digital encryption)
E-forms
– County Neumarkt (order of trash cans)– Karlsruhe (various forms)– Other cities and counties
E–payments
– Bremen

– Mannheim as best practice
– In principle in all bigger towns
E-PPP
– Berlin: financing of berlin.de by private partners

A number of factors prevent the further expansion of e-government
Source: Roland Berger; PriceWaterhouseCoopers and WIBERA, "Die Zukunft heißt E-Government"
Political factors
• Sometimes problematic interaction between politics and administration
Cultural factors
• Lack of service orientation
• Lack of a culture of motivation and innovation
Social factors
• Danger of the "digital divide"
Legal factors
• Prohibition of auctions in calls to tender
• Requirement of handwritten signature for many processes
Technical factors• Insufficient IT-
equipment of town administrations
• Data safety must be secured
• Digital signature requires chip card and reading devices
Financial factors• High initial
investments
• German muni-cipalities name lack of financial freedom as main obstacle to e-government
Lack of strategy• 88% of German cities do not
have an e-strategy
• Cities do not know the expectations of their citizens regarding the cities' web site

Some impediments can be overcome by partnerships – appropriate partners useful for the conception, financing and implementation of e-government
Partner
Other cities or counties(horizontalpartnership)
Producers of soft- and hardware
Partners for financing
Content partners for commercial portals
Universities
• Producer takes over development costs and receives future • selling rights
Functions of partnership
• Joint development of concept and IT
• Lower development costs
• Wider reach of joint internet presence
• Joint development of pilot applications
• The public partner saves the development costs
• Private partner finances internet presence, in exchange he receives the right of commercial use of the site
• Integration of all kinds of content by different partners: hotels, real estate market, events, sports, news, ...
• Joint development of new products
• Integration of scientists in decision making in order to gain additional know-how
Examples
• RegioInfo (Baden-Wuerttemberg)
• baynet.de (Bavaria)
• RegIS online (Lower Saxony)
• Stuttgart (Berkom)
• Mannheim (SAP)
• Berlin (berlin.de new media GmbH)
• Berlin

Partnerships can contribute to the financing of e-government in a number of ways
Case-by-case payment
• A private partner develops an application for the on-line transaction of citizen services
• The public partner pays a fixed fee for each transaction made via the application
• Lower transaction costs compared to traditional transaction makes for a savings effect1)
Joint development of applications
• Joint development of software• Public partner serves as a test user for piloting• The private partner pays the costs of development and
receives the rights of future selling of the application
Life events-related advertising
• Integration of private partners into the needs listed under each "life event"
• Examples: for the life event "registration": links to a bank, to utility firms etc.; for the life event "marriage" links to shopping malls etc.
Site operation by private company
• Private partner takes over the costs and the operation of the site, in exchange he receives the name rights and the right of commercial usage
• Public partner cares for the "official" content on administration etc.

Financing models for e-Government
1) E.g. in Hong Kong: 0,80 instead of 1,90$ average transaction costs

Further possibilities for financing arise from the adaptation of the functioning of private internet portals
Source: Roland Berger
The internet presence of a city should not be understood as a static offer of information ...
... but as a portal, which offers an entry to all kind of information on the town...
... and so allows a commercial use of the site

C. Options for action – fields of action are prioritized in the e-strategy according to criteria of potential for realization and strategic relevance
20 HAM-0280-97000-01-01.ppt
Navigator
The broad scope of the subject makes it impossible to realize e-government simultaneously everywhere – it is a essential to have an e-strategy
Definition of an e-strategy
• Concentration on the fields with the highest strategic potential
• Start at the interfaces of fields
– High effectiveness
– Strong chance for integration
• Making up of a global strategy and vision – but implementation of this vision in small easy-to-realize steps
• Concrete, small e-realization projects instead of long and fruitless e-discussions
