Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich Informatik - Sonstiges, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Nowadays, local and state government use of information technology has been manifested in several independent systems, each one satisfying one specific program need or supporting one business function. As a result of this, a large and rapidly growing number of individual systems are employed for government-to-government (G2G) business across local and state levels. Furthermore, this multiplicity of systems of often said to be a significant impediment to effective work. Additionally, it is also a strain from the financial perspective since many systems need their own software, hardware, office space, security, as well as business rules (Stenberg & Austin 2007) (Kim & Bretschneider 2006). Therefore, in order to enable smooth performance of business functions on every system, local government personnel and officials are required to sign in and sign out when they use each system, demanding several log ins and passwords. Typically, data which is entered into one system cannot be used by other systems. Enormous number of duplicate requests for information are made and granted as independent individual organizations reply to uncoordinated requirements and requests, thereby posing a significant burden on the functioning and work processes of both local governments and state agencies and implies higher than required costs of every individual (Augustsan 2001). As a solution to this bottleneck, the New York State-Local Internet Gateway Prototype was developed for testing an alternative strategy to this present way of working. The main objective of this Prototype was to determine, demonstrate, and measure the key factors that are associated with a single point of contact to enable G2G work amongst local and state governments.

Download or read book Evaluating Information Technology Usage in a Municipal Government An Exploratory Case Study of Functional Department Maturity Stages written by Augustine I. Umezurike and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information technology (IT) has been widely adopted by municipal government agencies to improve their responses to citizen requests, render effective customer service and provide interface for business transactions. There is need to periodically evaluate the status of IT usage in order to assure optimized capacity utilization of the IT infrastructure and to ascertain that intended benefits are being realized (Norris & Demeter, 1999). This study found that user characteristics was the driver of IT usage in the municipal government amongst the IT usage variables of organizational support, belief, and system characteristics. The research determined the growth stages of IT at the various city departments. The study also showed that operational benefit was the benefit mostly realized from IT usage in the city amongst the IT benefit variables of strategic and tactical benefits. The finding indicated that two or more city departments were at different stages of IT maturity, thus validating the proposal by Galliers and Sutherland (2003) that in a large organization, two or more departments may be at different maturity stages. A concurrent mixed research methodology was adopted with the sample frame comprising city employees. Stratified random sampling was used in selecting the survey participants. Hierarchical regression analysis and one-way analysis of variance were used to determine the drivers of IT usage and IT benefits as well as the stages of IT maturity. The city government agency under study is located in Tarrant County in the state of Texas.
Download or read book Setting Sail into the Age of Digital Local Government written by Tony E. Wohlers and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-11 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Internet and related technologies have dramatically changed the way we live, work, socialize, and even topple national governments. As the Internet becomes increasingly pervasive across societies, we find more often that governments adopt Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) as part of their toolbox for facilitating efficient and citizen-oriented service delivery at all levels of government. Local governments across the major industrialized democracies have not been an exception to this trend and have set sail into the age of digital government. Closest to their citizens, towns and cities have adopted ICTs to facilitate electronic government (e-government). While research on local e-government functionality in terms of information dissemination, service delivery, and citizen engagement continues at an impressive empirical and methodological pace, gaps in our knowledge remain. Cross-national comparative research on local e-government that covers a wide range of municipalities in combination with in-depth case study analyses is lacking. Informed by a comparative case study approach, this book seeks to narrow that gap and offer practical policy solutions to facilitate local e-government. We do so by pursuing both a macro and micro perspective of e-government functionality in the federal republics of Germany and the United States and unitary France and Japan. The macro perspective focuses on the state and scope of e-government functionality across a large number of randomly selected municipalities of all sizes in these advanced industrialized countries. Based on a small sample of case studies, the micro perspective analyzes the successful implementation of e-government in Seattle (United States), Nuremberg (Germany), Bordeaux (France), and Shizuoka City (Japan).

This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been much attention paid to the idea of Smart Cities as researchers have sought to define and characterize the main aspects of the concept, including the role of creative industries in urban growth, the importance of social capital in urban development, and the role of urban sustainability. This book develops a critical view of the Smart City concept, the incentives and role of governments in promoting the development of Smart Cities and the analysis of experiences of e-government projects addressed to enhance Smart Cities. This book further analyzes the perceptions of stakeholders, such as public managers or politicians, regarding the incentives and role of governments in Smart Cities and the critical analysis of e-government projects to promote Smart Cities’ development, making the book valuable to academics, researchers, policy-makers, public managers, international organizations and technical experts in understanding the role of government to enhance Smart Cities’ projects.
