As the only government technology plan of its kind in the nation, the Washington State Digital Government Plan outlines the specific steps that Washington's agencies must take to meet citizens' highest expectations for convenient access to services online, and greater efficiency in government's internal operations. The Plan treats the state, with all its various components, as a single enterprise, and follows a "build it once" strategy in which agencies avoid duplication of effort, adhere to common standards, and use a common infrastructure to serve citizens in a seamless way.
The Digital Government Plan is a specific roadmap for how to:
Published in February 2000, Release 1.0 of the Digital Government Plan presents the coordinated steps necessary for Washington state to meet these expectations. At the core of Release 1.0 is a set of deliverable technology architecture pieces—the foundation on which agencies can easily offer more services online. Release 2.0 is largely focused on the enhancement and growth of the state's three portals: Access Washington, the state's Internet Web site; Inside Washington, the statewide intranet; and Transact Washington, a new business-to-government gateway.
The Digital Government Plan keeps the state on course to fulfill the cost-saving potential of doing more business using the power of automation and technology. We are producing real results now, as part of a long-term commitment to re-developing government business practices around the Internet. Washington is using technology tools to streamline state business and reduce the cost of many routine processes. Already, 24 government-to-government applications are in use on the statewide intranet, Inside Washington.
