The networking infrastructure that facilitates these applications must be planned, designed and executed with adequate bandwidth to accommodate the growth that will occur or with a modular design to add bandwidth as needed. Other concerns are the institution of process control features within the infrastructure to allow prioritization of bandwidth and security. Implementing these tools can be a challenge if the networking infrastructure is not adequate in both bandwidth and features. As a result, technology planning should address the overall infrastructure to ensure adequate capacity and features to allow ongoing processes to continue without interruption as well as to provide for new automated service offerings to be added. These concerns and others must be considered in the near future if e-government is to impact the public sector in the way it has affected the private sector.
Electronic transactions are less prone to errors and rework and are therefore more efficient.
