e-Government in the UK is going to be a prime enabler for transformation of the way that central and local Government interact and communicate with the UK population.
The first e-Government National Awards will praise and recognise the best in UK e-Government, and highlight the important contributions made e-Government to central and local Government service strategy.
"e-Government is a key tool in modernisation and transformation for central departments and local councils - and will impact on the lives of all UK citizens", says Christopher Histed, founder of the e-Government National Awards and PublicTechnology.net, the UK's top online news source for the e-Government & public sector IT community, which has 23,500 readers a month. "These Awards are being launched to highlight good practice which the whole public sector can identify with and learn from, thereby adding value to their own e-Government projects and strategies".
