Finsiel is bringing more than 30 products to Government Forum 2002, designed for central and local government and spanning the entire ICT value chain.
Online fiscal services have garnered accolades from around the world as one of the most successful e-government implementations so far: 100 percent of declarations sent online to government, 360,000 citizens directly filed their income declarations over the Internet in 2001, an error rate in declarations of just 3%, two thousand tonnes of papers saved every year, dedicated networks and services for notaries, architects, accountants and customs officers.
Electronic identity cards offer ID-sure access to services via Internet portals. After concluding trials involving an initial 83 town councils, the Ministry of the Interior has set a target that by 2006 all paper-based cards will have been replaced with the new cards which, in addition to being an identification document, also serve as a multifunction access key to government services. Citizens will be able to use their electronic ID cards to obtain any public service from any service-enabled government department, regardless of where they may happen to be.
