Origins and emergence of e-Government

The impetus for thinking about online and more online dimensions to public sector operations came during the 1990s when the mainstream advent of the Internet began to translate into dramatic declines in the cost of both communicating and processing information. Consistent in large manner with the re-engineering movement of the preceding decade, public sector organizations sought new ways to control costs and improve organizational efficiencies. New and better approaches to managing information technology and the emergence of online channels of service-delivery promised significant financial savings.
