E-Government is commonly referred to as the use of information technology to enhance access to and delivery of government services to citizens, businesses, and governments, including government employees. E-government encompasses everything that a government provides—from security to economic development and education to healthcare. The consumers of these services expect that these services will be provided in an efficient and secure manner at all times.
The delivery of e-Government has also evolved from traditional, organisation-oriented computerisation to the use of Internet or Web-based technologies focusing primarily on the development of Web portals, and a Web presence, using simple forms, and is now moving towards a task-oriented, Web services oriented paradigm.
