Approach - three questionnaires
The questions in E-awareness 2005 were designed to help gauge the extent to which agencies are progressing towards the June 2007 goal of the Government’s E-government Strategy. By June 2007, networks and Internet technologies will be integral to the delivery of government information, services and processes.
E-awareness 2005 comprised three separate questionnaires for agencies to complete:
- General Questions
- E-government Initiatives
- Data Exchanges
General Questions could be completed only once, and included questions relating to electronic channels, barriers to e-government, online authentication and metadata as used for www.govt.nz and other government websites. The two remaining questionnaires related specifically to individual e-initiatives and formal information exchanges. Consequently, both the E-government Initiatives and Data Exchanges questionnaires could be completed multiple times depending on the number of e-initiatives or data exchanges that an agency has or is involved in.
The scope of E-awareness has been broadened to include e-initiatives, such as document management systems and other e-initiatives that indirectly improve delivery of information and services.
