E-government

E-Government = Transformational Government

The Council is progressively introducing electronic access to its services to enhance participation in, and access to, local and national services for people residing in, or visiting, our District. This will enable a fully integrated first point of access to our services.

Tendring District Council is committed to quality and continuous improvement and expects to continue to deploy information technology to optimum effect and meet the demands, targets and expectations of the Government and electronic service delivery for the benefit of its citizens.

However, the Council recognises that technology alone does not transform local government, but government cannot transform to meet modern citizens' expectations without it. Transformation of service delivery is about better access to services combined with greater efficiency.

The Council's ICT Strategy 2006-2011 sets out a five year plan for ICT at the Council, including a vision of how ICT will continue to assist with improving the Council's services.
The key focus of the ICT Strategy is "Using technology to deliver better public services", and it aims to do this by :-

Transforming the organisation into an e-enabled and efficient service provider for its customers;
Providing direction and focus for ICT across the whole organisation;
Aligning individual departmental ICT efforts towards achieving the overall corporate goals;
Providing a framework and governance mechanism for future ICT projects and investments;
Providing adequate capability and capacity for self-service.
