Results: Networked State Services - Part 2

Standards

The New Zealand e-Government Interoperability Framework contains a number of standards designed to support collaboration and a common framework within government.

Between half to three-quarters of CIOs that responded to the survey were aware of the 13 data exchange and security standards they were asked about, depending on the standard in question.

The level of actual deployment of the standards however was much lower, varying between zero and 38 percent. The lowest deployment rates were amongst all the data exchange standards and those of the security standards that were developed by the New Zealand e-Government Interoperability Framework (e-GIF) programme.

Possible explanations for some standards having low uptake include their not being applicable to some organisations and the effect of implementation lead times on the uptake of newer standards.
