eGovernment Conference in Malm
(Thomson Reuters ONE) - Tieto Corporation Press Release 20 November 2009 at 10.00 am EETHalf the cost - twice the benefitDesign all e-services so that users like and understand them. Thisconcerns particularly public sector e-services that facilitatecompanies' administrative processes. The advantages include cuttingadministrative costs for small and medium-sized companies and largeparts of public enterprises by up to 50 percent. This is important inorder to maintain and strengthen competitiveness for enterprises inthe EU. So says Tieto's CEO Hannu Syrjälä, who will speak at the 5thMinisterial eGoverment Conference in Malmö today."The technology is not the obstacle. The challenge is to findsolutions for digital services that are fitting to the users' needsand give them added value. The environment that the users encountermust be simple, and similar to those used to sell music, films andother such services," says Syrjälä.As one of the biggest providers of digital services to the publicsector in the Nordic region, Tieto is engaged in intensivedevelopment work to create solutions for the future.The potential for savings and improved efficiency is huge. The timehas also come for the public sector to take advantage of thestandards that exist in the market rather than building proprietarysolutions. Greater cooperation between the public and private sectorsis one of the keys to success for the digital services of the future."Experience from the banking sector shows that increased cooperationwould produce great results," says Syrjälä. "Today, in the Nordic andBaltic regions, we use the same e-tools whether we are using onlinebanking services or filing a tax return electronically via the taxagency's web service. Nearly everyone uses these e-services, becauseof their simplicity. The same thing could be done throughout thepublic sector."For the EU to maintain and expand its ability to compete in a globalmarket, a broad implementation of e-services is an important step insimplifying and drastically reducing administrative costs. This couldbe decisive for small and medium-sized companies in terms of theirfuture competitiveness. Digital services can create a more efficientEurope in both the public and private sector."It is obvious that Europe must become more competitive andeffective," explains Syrjälä. "Increased digitalisation will promotea more sustainable society, and we must bear sustainability in mindin every project and process. At Tieto, we are working toward avision of "eGoverment 2020," which aims at making European companiesgreener and more competitive through digitalised business processes."Tieto's five-point programme for successful public sector e-services:1. Use open standards, such as BankID and e-invoicing.2. Invest in private/public cooperation. It will expand the use ofnew digital services and simplify the learning process for them.3. Digitalise all business processes. Companies and the EU could savean estimated EUR 250 billion annually simply by adopting e-invoicing.4. Involve the citizens. Young digital natives demand participationand will assume their place, but it is also important to involvepeople of all ages.5. Everything must be based on sustainability. IT can enhanceenvironmental awareness and sustainability in both the public andprivate sector.For further information, please contact:Bo Harald, Head of Executive Advisors, TietoMobile +358 50 64101E-mail: bo.harald(at)tieto.comTIETO CORPORATIONDISTRIBUTIONPrincipal mediaTieto is an IT service company providing IT, R&D and consultingservices.
