Public Electronic Services Platform

In the contemporary world life is lived twenty-four hours a day and for both members of the public and those in business access to public services means having access to information at any time of the day or night. Thanks to modern technology it is now possible to give the public and business access to information and digital services for public administrative procedures twenty-four hours a day.

Services should be provided to the public via electronic, interactive communication tools and the Internet as well as using IT systems to aid decision-making and management in administration. Local government has a special task to perform in influencing and creating an information society. At this administrative level there is specialist knowledge of local problems and needs, and this is also where most people have their most frequent contact with public administration.   
The electronic public services platform is a portal solution aimed at public administration, local government, and fully and partly nationalized companies. The solution aims to ease procedures for clients of government agencies by making a wide range of Internet solutions available to them so that they can conduct their affairs without having to go in person to the offices concerned. The solution uses electronic signatures, which means that the scope of services offered by Egovernment is mostly limited only by the internal procedures of the government agencies.
