By E-administration or E-Government in the closer sense (electronic governing and administration) one understands the simplification and execution from processes to the information, communication and transaction within and between institutions of the executive (authorities), as well as between these institutions and citizen (G2C), enterprise (G2B) and further national institutions (G2G) by the employment about information and communication technologies.

It is thus part of E-Governments in the broader sense.

A goal

E-Government is to the citizens and citizens faster and uncomplicated services to offer and to the state thereby costs save. The "“state"” is to be changed by a father role into an service-oriented partner role.

Here the interactivity is to be used by information and communication technologies for the course of business with the citizen, so that existing personnel can be used predominantly for the completion of the actual inquiries.

Causes

E-Government became with the time a natural service of administrations. One promises oneself from E-Government apart from a higher effectiveness of the services also an improvement of the entrance to information and knowledge.

To the rapid development of the E-Governments on the one hand experiences of the citizens and enterprises contributed, now who transfer the employment from information and communication technologies also from other ranges of the everyday life, about E-Banking, and the advantages (saving of time, accessibility and quality of the services) to the executive.

On the other hand the increasing financial need of administrations led to the desire for cost lowerings, which are partly attainable by E-Government. Here in particular also strategic considerations play, about to new Public management a role.

Use

E-Government must accompany with an analysis and an optimization of the business processes. By medium breaks many processes are not at all suitable for E-Government, however it is meaningful to examine whether via Workflowverarbeitung a process orientated transformation can take place.

For the citizen genuine increases in value lie particularly with transaction processes, less with information and communication processes. Informationsprozesse (e.g. the possibility are actual of querying opening times in the Web) and communication processes (e.g. the possibility of taking up by E-Mail contact with a coworker) in many administrations of the German-language countries already fully develops. Often it is missing however at the possibility of filling out interactively forms or of placing requests (transaction processes).

In particular the use of content management systems can be helpful with structuring of and serve thus also the E-Government. Often such systems are not used in administrations however yet. In the context of the initiative federation-on-line 2005 a base component content management system was among other things therefore made available, which was developed particularly for the need of the federal administration, the so-called Government Site Builder (GSB). In the context of the so-called "“Kieler of resolutions"” this base component can be used also by countries and municipalities, which must have which is the basis commercial content in addition however licenses for the management system.

Also for the economy crucial advantages arise as a result of E-Government. The Effektivierung and acceleration of authority courses leads to substantial savings. This strengthens both the individual enterprises, as well as the entire (European) marketing area in the international competition. In addition by constantly available (international) authority services the goods traffic liberty and the freedom to establish residence are promoted and supported.

Straight ones in Germany with its local autonomy can be created by co-operation with research, economics and other co-operation interesting synergies. One prevents that the wheel in each administration is again invented. Central states have this problem tendentious less.

Apart from these substantial advantages for citizens and economics forgotten advantage develops also for the authorities not to: the cost saving. Time and money are thus saved through new electronic and often automated operational sequence. However the federation counts during conversion of its initiative federation-on-line 2005 on annual cost savings of approximately 400 million euro with a total investment volume of 1.65 billion euro. This would mean that the introduction of E-Government-achievements would have amortized ready in approx. 4 years. "„In view of European-wide scarce family budgets it places itself with the fact in place of the question why Europe E-Government needs, rather those, whether Europe can afford it, without E-Government to do "“. (Heinrich, page 3)
