eGovernment State of Play
The graph below is the result of the latest
eGovernment Benchmark
1
study, which monitors
the development of eGovernment in Europe, based on specific indicators. These indicators
are clustered within four main top-level benchmarks:
User Centricity
– indicates to what extent (information about) a service is provided
online and how this is perceived.
Transparent Government
– indicates to what extent governments is transparent
regarding: i) their own responsibilities and performance, ii) the process of service
delivery and iii) personal data involved.
Cross Border Mobility
– indicates to what extent EU citizens can use online
services in another country.
Key Enablers
– indicates the extent to which 5 technical pre-conditions are
available online. There are: Electronic Identification (eID), Electronic documents
(eDocuments), Authentic Sources, Electronic Safe (eSafe), and Single Sign On
(SSO).
These top-level benchmarks are measured using a life-events (e.g. mystery shopping)
approach. The following life-events were used for measuring the eGovernment Benchmark
top-level indicators: Business start-up and early trading operations, Losing and Finding a
Job, Studying, Regular business operations, Moving, Owning and driving a car, and Starting
a small claims procedure. The figure below presents the development of eGovernment in
Austria
2
compared to the EU average score.

November 2014
The positive trend regarding the activation of Mobile Phone Signatures, the Austrian mobile
eID solution, is continuing and shows the growing acceptance of this technical
implementation of the Austrian citizen card concept. Currently (beginning of November
2014) there are more than 420 000 active Mobile Phone Signatures in use and every month
some 20 000 to 25 000 new Mobile Phone Signatures are activated.
One of the use cases for the Mobile Phone Signature is the online application for ordering
ballot papers for postal voting. This service is offered for the upcoming elections for the
European Parliament, as it was before, e.g. for the elections of the Austrian Parliament
(September 2013).
June 2014
Austria receives the United Nations Public Service Award 2014 for the Open Government
Data Portal (data.gv.at). In the category "Improving the delivery of Public Services",
Austria was awarded 1st place for the nationwide Open Government Data Portal
(
data.gv.at
) by the Federal Chancellery of the Republic of Austria. The portal is a unique
platform for providing a comprehensive database of freely accessible national government
data. The awarding jury pointed out that Austria was an inspiration and a model for other
countries.
May 2014
The newly published ABC guide of eGovernment in Austria - “Administration on the Net”
has now been made available in English. The Austrian “eGovernment ABC” offers a
comprehensive overview on the Austrian eGovernment strategy, the tools and components
it relies on and the challenges it faces. It takes a look at the legal, organisational and
technical framework for eGovernment and examines the success factors for introducing and
establishing eGovernment services. The new version of the eGovernment ABC has been
expanded by current issues like open government data, social media, eGovernment apps,
ICT-security and eGovernment training. A Chapter on international issues gives a brief
overview of the most important European and international eGovernment programmes and
committees and thus rounds off the picture. The structure of this document lays a strong
focus on the target groups for eGovernment and the information it contains is specifically
structured for this purpose. The editors placed much emphasis on delivering legal and
technical information in order to help people implementing eGovernment and those using it.
The “eGovernment ABC” is available at:
www.digital.austria.gv.at/abc
(in German at:
www.digitales.oesterreich.gv.at/abc
)”.
