E-government - a view from the inside

For writing this post, I was encouraged by a rather vigorous discussion of the post of the brave user dulsineia Chimera of e-government . I am just one of the officials sitting in the hall, and from the Astrakhan region (that is, in the course of tea drinking with Astrakhan grandmothers straight from the first hand). By the way, he also took direct part in preparing the report for the State Council meeting on the provision of public services in electronic form. So how would get into this fat feet in the subject.

As comrade dulsineia wrote quite correctly, I was bored. And the main reason for this boredom was the statement by the Minister of Communications Shchegolev about the monologue mode of operation. Although, given the number of invited visiting officials from the regions, a constructive bazaar would hardly have turned out a dialogue.
The second reason for the boredom was that during the meeting I did not hear something new for myself.
The main message of this meeting to the regions is that there is no money. The regional e-government should be implemented using our own funds to attract private-state partnerships, but we will ask you for results on a regular basis.
The current situation with the provision of public services in electronic form is rather difficult - the laws are against it: you need a personal presence, you need a lot of certificates from different places that you need to receive personally and whose life time is short, there are no normal IP, and most importantly there is no money for the desire of most departments information.

Now about the positive points:
1. Over the past six months, quite a lot of changes have been made in that pile of documents, called laws that regulate the provision of public services.
2. If you are lucky, in a couple of months we will receive laws allowing the normal use of EDS, recognizing electronic documents and most importantly determining the procedure for the exchange of information between various departments in electronic form in automatic mode (fingers crossed for luck).
3. finally, officials began to ask (felt in their own skin) not formal reports with incomprehensible numbers, but real business: when launch the public services portal, when services will appear on it and how many, when they can be used and what laws for this taken.

If the community is interesting, I can answer the questions in more detail on the main issues:
- how much we saw and spend on what,
- what we want to do
- what they wanted to do and what happened,
- what to do how to live where we roll ...
