  • Malta: Leading edge technology at Examinations Department

    September MATSEC results to be provided by mobile phone

    E-Government and the recently launched m-Government have brought about leaps in the quality of services being offered by government departments. Numerous services, which up till a few years ago were only accessible by physically visiting the respective department, can now be accessed over the Internet and mobile phone.

  • Malta: 'Building of e-government' nearing completion

    Around 95 per cent of the government's services should be available online in the next six to nine months thanks to the introduction of a state-of-the-art electronic identification system, IT and Investment Minister Austin Gatt said yesterday.

    The system was the "last pillar in the building of e-government", allowing private information to be accessed by the appropriate individuals, he said.

  • Malta: 4 more e-government initiatives

    Three more e-government services - the eHealth portal, Online Certificates and Scholarships website - and an e-Government services directory were launched on Thursday.

  • Malta: All Government services online by 2010

    All Government services, including those which are not used very often, will be accessible online by the year 2010, Minister for Investments, Industry and IT Austin Gatt announced.

  • Malta: Almost all government services will be online by this year

    The government will launch a bundle of tenders for 45 different services within the next few weeks, which will make the tendering process more efficient and less time-consuming, and finally put all available government services online, Industry, Investment and Information Technology Minister Austin Gatt said yesterday.

    Minister Gatt was speaking at the launch of the e-government service under which applicants can apply for children’s allowances online, which was organised in collaboration with the Family and Social Solidarity Ministry.

  • Malta: Almost all vehicle licence and policy renewals done online

    A total of 186,186 people or insurance agents made use of the eVERA online vehicle licence service in 2007 with many more expected to follow suit in using the newly set up online driving licence renewal service, which was launched by the Malta Transport Authority yesterday.

  • Malta: Broken link blamed for online licence renewal unavailability

    The renewal of road licences online is at present not available through the Malta Transport Authority’s website, because this site does not link up with the site to process these applications.

  • Malta: Bureaucratic obstacles in public service

    In its pre-budget document for this year, which was far less technical than that for next year published a few weeks ago, the government had laid down as one of the objectives in its information technology strategy the re-invention "of the government of Malta by transforming the public service in terms of its service delivery and governance". It sounds a bit bombastic, but at least insofar as the first part of the objective is concerned, great progress has indeed been made. Indeed, it was announced only recently that Maltese e-government services have made it to the final stage of the European e-Government Awards 2009 organised by the European Commission.

    However, as regards governance, taken in all its aspects, the wheels still grind excruciatingly slow, leading to frustration and shortcomings that are all too often so evident that one wonders how the whole public service machine works.

    Advances in technology are opening up a new world of possibilities in the E-Commerce and Internet world.

The result will be a new age of mobile and consumer electronics appliances in the form of multifunctional gadgets which deliver anytime, anywhere operation in true WI-FI connectivity. The new digital world of convergence will be driven by increasing speed and adhering to the highest standards which follow the millions of euros invested annually in R&D.

  • Malta: Connecting businesses and government

  • Malta: Digital divide on the decline - IT Ministry

    Quoting studies by the National Statistics Office, the Ministry for Investment, Industry and Information Technology (MITI), said that the government programs to eliminate the digital divide have substantially progressed during last year.
