Lessons from experience: Strategy Central agency needed to facilitate and coordinate the effort. Processes need to be redesigned alongside technology implementation, otherwise the result will be automation of flawed processes. The most difficult issue is the change in mindset, from a traditional department-centric thinking to a customer-centric and user-friendly approach. Citizen and business portals should be organized around citizen needs and goals, and not around government departments and agencies. 4
Lessons from experience: Strategy Standards are vitally important in supporting interoperability. Effective communications across government agencies is essential. Accessibility is an important consideration. Continued Effective partnerships with private sector is crucial. Successful e-government initiatives require coherent integration of government infrastructure, systems, processes the scale of change required is immense. 5
Lessons from experience: Implementation Continued Clear justification for projects Clarity about costs and benefits. Balancing cost, payoff, and risk in implementation. Use appropriate and customized technology. Adequate funding of projects Citizens are willing to pay, if they see real value. Private sector involvement can defray costs. Organization to design, develop, and implement Use government experts with IT training, not IT experts. Insource strategy; Outsource design and development. Project management Think big, start small, scale fast. Celebrate early wins, celebrate reasoned failures. Focus on training and change management. 6

m-government mgovernment is a subset of e-government. egovernment is the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to improve the activities of public sector organisations. m-government, those ICTs are limited to mobile and/or wireless technologies like cellular/mobile phones, and laptops and PDAs (personal digital assistants) connected to wireless local area networks (LANs). mgovernment can help make public information and government services available "anytime, anywhere" to citizens and officials.
