The e-Government Interoperability Framework is at the heart of our strategy for ensuring IT supports the business transformation of Government. This transformation is about delivering better, more efficient public services. The e-Government Unit contributes to this through frameworks like the e-GIF and also by supporting joined-up service delivery, sharing best practice and putting the citizen at the centre of our work.
The e-GIF was first published in September 2001 and has gone from strength to strength. There are now facilities to help public and private sector organisations ensure that their systems are e-GIF compliant, and that their people have the necessary knowledge and skills to enable systems to work together.
