The Society for Promotion of e-Governance, India Presents

Government Transformation Forum 2009

Transforming Public Services for the next Generation

 Date: July 27-28, 2009

Venue: Hotel Taj Mansingh, New Delhi, India

Description: Over the past few years, governments in developing countries have formulated their National e-Governance plans and have been actively pursuing the deployment of various projects under these plans. However, the task of transforming governments is not easy. While technology alone cannot transform governments, it is a commonplace knowledge that technologies have a great role to play in the march towards next generation of services for the citizens. In the fast paced world of technology, new approaches have constantly been extending the boundaries of what is possible. The pace of change is evidenced by the fact that terms like SOA, WOA, community sourcing, cloud computing, software-as-a-service, mobile government and Web 2.0 that seem almost common place today, were not in the lexicon only a few years ago.

Government Transformation Forum 2009 endeavors to enhance collaboration and exchange of learning practices among the industry, academia, civil society organizations and the public sector on the latest developments that have the potential of impacting the delivery of government services to the next generation.. Through this forum, the organizers intend to keep the stakeholders abreast of the latest trends and cutting edge technologies so that the e-Government programs are designed keeping in view the needs of the next generation. Special tracks on Cloud Computing, Web 2.0 technologies, Mobile Transformation Initiatives, e-Revenue Administration are some of the highlights of Government Transformation Forum 2009.
