Adequate and efficient infrastructure support must be provided to enhance an e-government system that will allow more effective exchange and processing of data across NGAs and to enhance government's capability to deliver services electronically directly to citizens. This involves further enhancing e-government portals including the online payment facility. A secured data center and public key infrastructure (PKI) system for government transactions would also need to be established to encourage the use of the e-government Portal towards seamless transaction across agencies.
E-government applications in the LGU level should be promoted so that applications such as those for real property, business permitting, treasury and accounting, and other applications would be used by all LGUs to provide better services to their constituents and increase their revenues.
Interoperability of information systems across government bodies will also be pursued, by adopting standards and policies for interoperability and integration strategies. This will enable easier, more efficient exchanging and processing of data across NGAs applications.
