Checklist
Automated interaction Benefits THUS services
E-government objectives aim to improve collaboration between various levels of government. To achieve this they need state-of-the-art administrative processes for maximum efficiency and cost effectiveness, which is in the form of a single, converged system, combined with multiple access systems, where content can be accessed anywhere within the network. For example, this can be achieved by opening new information portals in areas such as public kiosks or schools.  Consistent quality
