April 2002
Web-based survey on electronic public services ordered by the European Commission (p. 11):
The website of the social security administration in Belgium (www.socialsecurity.be) is a good example of the combination of back-office integration and an e-portal solution. This site is a front-office result of a long-term effort that the Belgian government made last years linking different databases. The site is a unique window for social security in Belgium

What is E-government ?
E-government is a continuous optimization of service delivery and governance by transforming internal and external relationships through technology, internet and new media
external relationships- government <-> citizen
- government <-> business internal relationships
- government <-> government
- government <-> employees all relationships
- are bidirectional
- can be within a country or border-crossing

Government
not monolithic- EU- in every country
• federal level• regions• communities• provinces• municipalities• parapublic institutions• private instutions participating in delivery of public services• …
integrated E-government is based upon common strategy, multilateral agreements and interoperability
E-government contains the opportunity to realize one virtual electronic government with full respect for every specific competence

Advantages
efficiency gains- in terms of costs: same services at lower total costs, e.g.
• unique information collection using co-ordinated notions and administrative instructions
• less re-encoding of information by electronic information exchange
• less contacts
• functional task sharing concerning information management, information validation and application development (distributed information systems)
- in terms of quantity: more services at same total cost, e.g.• all services are available at any time, from anywhere and from any device
• integrated service delivery
- in terms of speed: same services at same total cost in less time• reduction of waiting and travel time
• direct interaction with competent governmental institution
• real time feedback for the user
6 28/11/2002Crossroads Bank for Social Security
Advantages (ctd)
effectiveness gains- in terms of quality: same services at same total cost in same
time, but to a higher quality standard, e.g.• more correct service delivery• personalized and participative service delivery• more transparant and comprehensive service delivery• more secure service delivery• possibility of quality control on service delivery process by customer
- in terms of type of services: new types of services, e.g.• push system: automatic granting of or information about services• active search of non-take-up using datawarehousing techniques• controlled management of own personal information• personalized simulation environments

E-government: a structural reform process
ICT is only a means by which a result may be obtained
E-government requires- considering information as a strategic resource for all
government activity- change of basic mindset: from government centric to
customer centric- re-engineering of processes within each government
institution, each government level and across government levels
- clear definition of mission and core tasks of every governmental institution
8 28/11/2002Crossroads Bank for Social Security
E-government: a structural reform process (ctd)
E-government requires (ctd)- co-operation between governmental institutions: one virtual
electronic government, with respect for mission and core tasks of each governmental institution and government level
- co-operation between government and private sector- adequate legal environment elaborated at the correct level- interoperability framework: ICT, security, unique identification
keys, harmonized concepts- implementation with a decentralized approach, but with co-
ordinated planning and program management (think global, act local)
- adequate measures to prevent a digital divide
9 28/11/2002Crossroads Bank for Social Security
Information as resource: implications
information modelling- information is being modelled in such a way that the model
fits in as close as possible with the real world• definition of information elements• definition of attributes of information elements• definition of relations between information elements
- information modelling takes into account as much as possible the expectable use cases of the information
- the information model can be flexibly extended or adapted when the real world or the use cases of the information change
10 28/11/2002Crossroads Bank for Social Security
Information as resource: implications (ctd)
unique collection and re-use of information- information is only collected for well-defined purposes and in
a proportional way to these purposes- all information is collected once, as close to the authentic
source as possible- information is collected via a supplier-chosen channel, but
preferably in an electronic way, using uniform basic services (single sign on, arrival receipt of a file, notification for each message, …)
- information is collected according to the information model and on the base of uniform administrative instructions
11 28/11/2002Crossroads Bank for Social Security
Information as resource: implications (ctd)
unique collection and re-use of information (ctd)- with the possibility of quality control by the supplier before the
transmission of the information- the collected information is validated once according to an
established task sharing, by the most entitled institution or by the institution which has the greatest interest in a correct validation
- and then shared and re-used by authorized users
12 28/11/2002Crossroads Bank for Social Security
Information as resource: implications (ctd)
management of information- information in all forms (e.g. voice, print, electronic or image)
is managed efficiently through its life cycle- a functional task sharing is established indicating which
institution stores which information in an authentic way, manages the information and keeps it at the disposal of the authorized users
- information is stored according to the information model- information can be flexibly assembled according to ever
changing legal notions- all information is subject to the application of agreed
measures to ensure integrity and consistency
13 28/11/2002Crossroads Bank for Social Security
Information as resource: implications (ctd)
management of information (ctd)- every institution has to report probable improprieties of
information to the institution that is designated to validate the information
- every institution that has to validate information according to the agreed task sharing, has to examine the reported probable improprieties, to correct them when necessary and to communicate the correct information to every known interested institution
- information will be retained and managed as long as there exists a business need, a legislative or policy requirement, or, preferably anonimized or encoded, when it has historical or archival importance
14 28/11/2002Crossroads Bank for Social Security
electronic exchange of information- once collected and validated, information is stored, managed
and exchanged electronically to avoid transcribing and re-entering it manually
- electronic information exchange can be initiated by• the institution that disposes of information• the institution that needs information• the institution that manages the interoperability framework
- electronic information exchanges take place on the base of a functional and technical interoperabilty framework that evolves permanently but gradually according to open market standards, and is independent from the methods of information exchange
Information as resource: implications (ctd)
15 28/11/2002Crossroads Bank for Social Security
Information as resource: implications (ctd)
electronic exchange of information (ctd)- available information is used for the automatic granting of
benefits, for prefilling when collecting information and for information delivery to the concerned persons
16 28/11/2002Crossroads Bank for Social Security
Information as resource: implications (ctd)
protection of information- security, integrity and confidentiality of government
information will be ensured by integrating ICT measures with structural, organizational, physical, personnel screening and other security measures according to agreed policies
- personal information is only used for purposes compatible with the purposes of the collection of the information
- personal information is only accessible to authorized institutions and users according to business needs, legislative or policy requirement
- the access authorisation to personal information is granted by an independent institution, after having checked whether the access conditions are met
- the access authorizations are public
17 28/11/2002Crossroads Bank for Social Security
Information as resource: implications (ctd)
protection of information (ctd)- every concrete electronic exchange of personal information
is preventively checked on compliance with the existing access authorisations by an independent institution managing the interoperability framework
- every concrete electronic exchange of personal information is logged, to be able to trace possible abuse afterwards
- every time information is used to take a decision, the used information is communicated to the concerned person together with the decision
- every person has right to access and correct his own personal data
18 28/11/2002Crossroads Bank for Social Security
Customer centric
unique declaration of every event during the life cycle/business episode of a customer and automatic granting of all related services, e.g.
19 28/11/2002Crossroads Bank for Social Security
Customer centric (ctd)
delivery of services that cannot be granted automatically to a customer- in an integrated way
• information• interaction• transaction
- re-using all available information• harmonized concepts• back-office integration• prefilled information
20 28/11/2002Crossroads Bank for Social Security
Customer centric (ctd)
delivery of services that cannot be granted automatically to a customer (ctd)- in a personalized way
• look & feel and interface• content
– only relevant information and transactions• personalized support
– contextual help– own language– adapted vocabulary– on-line simulations
- or at least based on the way of thinking of the customer group• life events (birth, marriage, etc.) or business episodes (starting a company,
recruiting personnel, etc.)• life styles (sport, culture, etc.)• life status (unemployed, retired, etc.) or business sectors• specific target groups
21 28/11/2002Crossroads Bank for Social Security
Customer centric (ctd)
declaration of events and service delivery via an access method chosen by the customer- various end-user devices
• PC, GSM, PDA, digital TV, kiosks, …
- file transfer- use of intermediaries- accessible to disabled
use of integrated customer relation management tools service delivery in principle free of charge
22 28/11/2002Crossroads Bank for Social Security
Integration is the key
lack of integration leads to- overloading of the citizens/companies
• multiple collection of the same information by several governmental institutions
• no re-use of available information• avoidable contacts with citizens/companies due to multiple, unco-
ordinated quality checks
- waste of efficiency and time within the governmental institutions
- suboptimal support of the policy made by government- higher possibilities of fraud
23 28/11/2002Crossroads Bank for Social Security
Implementation in Belgium
principles have been implemented under co-ordination of the Crossroads Bank for Social Security within the social security sector consisting of 2.000 public and private social security institutions
principles are being implemented under co-ordination of the new Federal Public Service for ICT (FEDICT) within the federal government
principles are accepted by regions and communities by signing the co-operation agreement between the federal government, the regions and the communities

key issues- evolution of standards- collaboration with vendors- not limited to public agencies- national, European & international standards- every partner is free to implement internally in his own way:
black box philosophy
54 28/11/2002Crossroads Bank for Social Security
Unique identification keys
citizens- generalization of the use of the social security number
(national register number or CBSS-number)- (electronically) readable from the electronic identity card- controlled access to basic identification data in National
Register and CBSS
companies- unique company number (based on VAT-number)- unique number for every plant of business- generalized access to basic identification data in Company
Register
regulation on data interconnection
55 28/11/2002Crossroads Bank for Social Security
Electronic identity card
retained functions- visual and electronic identification of the holder- electronic authentication of the holder via the technique of
the digital signature- generation of electronic signature via the technique of the
digital signature (non repudiation)- proof of characteristics of the holder via the technique of the
digital signature on the initiative of the holder- only identification data storage- no electronic purse- no biometry
56 28/11/2002Crossroads Bank for Social Security
Electronic identity card: content
visual- identification data: name, first names, sex, date and place of birth- National Register number- photograph- card number- validity period
electronic- serial number (sn)- National Register number (nrn)- card number (cn)- visual identification data + sn + nrn + cn (signed by National
Register = sig1)- address + sig1 (signed by National Register = sig2)- photograph + sig1 (signed by National Register = sig3)
57 28/11/2002Crossroads Bank for Social Security
Organization model
government chooses card producer and certification authority issuing the identity certificates as a result of a public call for tenders
the municipality calls the holder for the issuing of the electronic identity card
the municipality acts as registration authority for 2 certificates: authentication and electronic signature
2 key pairs are generated within the card at production time and the private keys are stored within the chip of the card
58 28/11/2002Crossroads Bank for Social Security
Organization model (ctd)
the 2 certificates are created by the certification authority, but published only when the holder agrees
the use of the private keys within the chip needs an activation of the card by a municipal official using his PUK2 and the PUK1 sent to the holder
first authentication within one session (first private key) and every generation of an electronic signature (second private key) requires the PIN code of the holder
the second private keys and the identity certificate on the electronic identity card can be used to generate an electronic signature within the scope of E-government applications which require such a signature
59 28/11/2002Crossroads Bank for Social Security
Organization model (ctd)
the electronic identity card contains the necessary space to store other private keys associated to attribute certificates that holder can obtain at the certification authority of his choice

Portal sites (ctd)
public institutions need to concentrate on core activities, such as- information
• modular• up to date• information blocks concerning public services• with standardized metadata• based on standardized thesauri• in generally accessible content management systems• with separation between content and metadata (reuse, don’t rewrite)• that can be submitted to automatical re-indexation
- transactions• applications that can be easily integrated in private or public portal sites
64 28/11/2002Crossroads Bank for Social Security
Portal sites (ctd)
public portals should have added value- integration of services
• information• work flow based on life events of the customers• integration with work flow of customers
- coordinated basic services for own customers• single sign on• ticketing• logging• notification service• …

Portal sites (ctd)
other key issues- multidimensionality: accessibility of same services through
different « views »- multi channel enabling- citizen/company relation management
• integrated service delivery, across all used channels• personalization of service delivery
– first step: personalized home page for every company on social security portal
• evolution to push system• quality control• feedback mechanisms for permanent improvement of service delivery
- contact center
67 28/11/2002Crossroads Bank for Social Security
Critical success factors
E-government as a structural reform process- process re-engineering within and across public institutions
- back-office integration for automatic granting of services
- integrated and personalized front-office service delivery support of and access to policymakers at the highest level co-operation between all actors concerned based on repartition
of tasks rather than centralization of tasks quick wins combined with long term vision focus on more efficient and effective service delivery rather than
on the fight against fraud respect for legal repartition of competences between actors legal framework creation of an institution that stimulates and co-ordinates
68 28/11/2002Crossroads Bank for Social Security
Most important barriers
privacy and security average public sector project is more complex than
average private sector project, due to- interaction with a larger number of stakeholders (elected
officials, public employees, members of interest groups, voters, tax payers, recipients of public services, other governmental institutions, other government levels, …)
- execution in a less stable environment
complexity of BPR in a government environment race for quick wins (cf surveymania) doesn’t stimulate
development of well conceived systems based on re-engineering
69 28/11/2002Crossroads Bank for Social Security
Most important barriers
public sector tends, perhaps for reason of prestige, to favour tailor-made, high-risk, state-of-the-art solutions even when alternative, off-the-shelf, cheap, tried and tested systems are available
in the public sector, there is typically no financial margin of value to be added by innovation
intermediaries often perceive e-government as a threat
skills and knowledge
70 28/11/2002Crossroads Bank for Social Security
Most important barriers
need for radical cultural change within government, e.g.- from hierarchy to participation and team work- meeting the needs of the customer, not the government- empowering rather than serving- rewarding entrepreneurship within government- ex post evaluation on output, not ex ante control of every
input
