First sentence: At the start of the new century at the latest, it became a high priority global challenge for the various active participants in politics, business and society to develop e-government across the range of applications and through all levels of the state from the central government to rural areas, i.e. to provide information technology support in governing and administration (public policy formation, decision-making, creation and provision of services, participation) (cf.
