Technology infrastructure for e-government from IBM can help provide a return on investment by:
Integrating applications and procedures within and among agencies - workers can effectively communicate with each department.
Allowing mobility for workers - employees not around at the office can get information very quickly.
Enabling e-participation - citizens have the opportunity to utilize Web-based transactions. Services and convenience are provided to citizens without paying any cost of traditional methods.
Consolidating eServer - you need less staff and less floor space to keep up with servers. Theres no pressure to buy more hardware and hire more people to run the department.
From the poll question, i know that the point of view of people towards a government. People think that the e-government in canada is the best, but I do not know the truth because I never experience the e-government at Canada before.
Electronic imaging and video technology have become advanced in recent years. New hardware and software developments have enhances the ability to capture, store, process, transmit and display still and motion images. Having realized that interpreting and understanding conventional text and numerical computer outputs can be tedious and time-consuming, governments have invested in a combination of visualization software, such as pictorial representations of complex computer calculations and imaging hardware, to overcome these weaknesses and increase productivity.
Do you think Malaysia Electronic Government reach their target?

The vision of Electronic Government is for government, businesses and citizen who working together for the benefit of Malaysia.
在视觉上有效地提供服务，由政府向马来西亚的重点，它使政府成为更加适应市民的需求。
The vision focuses on effectively delivering services from the government to Malaysian, it enabling the government to become more responsive to the needs of citizens.
In the earlier, I mentioned about the technologies for Electronic Government, in simple words, it is something about the current technologies use in electronic government. Inside the topic, Electronic Document Management is also mentioned and it is very important.
About the importance of Electronic document management, lets quote example to show it out. For example, Andrew is a lawyer, he is finding some contracts of the government worker as a reference, when there does not have the electronic document management technologies, Mr. Andrew need to spend couple of hours to finding for the contracts. He need to find out the contracts among the countless paper.
But, after the exist of electronic documents management technology, Mr. Andrew no longer need to get in trouble, what he need to do is just open the computer, search for the contract online, he will found the contracts or documents within a second. Moreover, he can also found out the different version of the document.
Although searching documents is just the action we done everyday, however, after the exist of this technology, citizen can save a lot of time, and even money. Without a doubt, when the government agency manage the document, it become easier, government agency can also done their task efficiently.
Since government is a large "database", so that, Electronic Documents Management Technology is very important for electronic government.
It has been a week since the poll has been posted up in our blog. The poll question is "do you think e-government in malaysian is develop enough?" From the responses of those who visited our blog, I notice the 80% of them fell that e-government in malaysia is not develop enough even though e-government in malaysia has been started for the last 7 years which is the time when the MyCard came out. However, nothing have change in the past 7 years. E-government in malaysia is still the same. But from a friend of mine, I found out that E-government is going to be complete in at 2011 which is a year from now. Do you think e-government can be complete in just a years?

From the chart we know that e-government is still an unknown for the public. But as for those who knows about e-government have also no confident for the government technology. They do not think that e-government can be reliable enough for them. However, these challenges can be solve as long as the government put some effort into improving the government technology.
Minister in the Prime Minister's department Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu khoon reminded the Civil Servants not be too pleased even though Malaysia was placed 11th in world ranking in the implementation of e-government. Malaysia has improved from 25th place in 2007 to 11th in 2008. With the Malaysia Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak vision of 1 Malaysia Concept : People First, performance Now, it will further improve our ranking. The minister was commenting on Malaysia's achievement on e-government done by the Brookings Institude of the United States. Dr. Koh also reminded the Civil Servants to improve their productivity services to the public. He also reminded that one must not only use high technology to improve efficiency but also be sensitive in all matters by putting people first. On e-government , Dr. Koh stated that the system should be further expanded by putting up more Kiosks as the source of information to the public. 1 e-government is for 1 Malaysia as it will be more effective by allowing people able to access to information which will bring the people closer to the government. The people in the remote areas in Sarawak are now able to access to internet with the aid of satellites.
Now, web-based technology is in Malaysia's electronic government. Citizen or user can always using the electronic government service with web-based technology.
For example, Mr. Jonathan, which is a sales executive works in a shop somewhere beside the Asian Cafe. The previous renewal of his driving license consumed the whole day of his day off, sitting at the Road Transport Department, waiting for his number to be called. This method is very inconvenient and "unclever".
Today, he can strolls over to the cyber cafe beside the Asian Cafe during his tea break, inserts his government multipurpose card which is also known as MyKad to automatically retrieve his driving license information, swipes his credit card and his driving license will renewed instantly.
With the web-based technologies, the government service for user or citizen became more convenient, flexible and simple. Citizen or user no longer need to consumed the whole day time for renew their driving license.
