Intellect welcomes Head of e-Government
Intellect, the trade association for the hi-tech industry, has today welcomed the Government's announcement of plans to appoint a Head of e-Government.
Commenting on the Government's intention John Higgins, Intellect Director General said, "We are happy that the government has ended the uncertainty about the future of the e-envoy's office. The appointment of a head of e-Government represents a natural progression in the role of the e-envoy's office. Particularly as it seeks to address a key issue which needs rectifying... namely business process re-engineering within government."
"We now ask that this head of e-Government engages with suppliers as early as possible, and develops an understanding of what technology can do and delivers services citizens want to use. We hope that this new appointment will ensure that technology is embedded in the process of mainstream business process change, rather than being seen as an activity in isolation."
