New Zealand Government launches igovt : trusted secure online services

Published 22 April 2008, 11:54 PM

Interesting development in the field of citizen-facing Government services from New Zealand. The NZ Government State Services Commission (SSC) has (re-)launched  the Government Login Service (GLS) as the first of a suite of "trusted secure" online services under the moniker "igovt".

For more information see https://www.i.govt.nz/

There is also an interesting background blog post from Vikram Kumar of SSC at http://blog.e.govt.nz/index.php/2008/04/23/why-igovt/

NZ has the advantage of being small and relatively isolated - only 4 million people at the last count, which makes the development of these services a little less involved than for larger states. I'd be interested if anyone has any direct comparisons with other countries around the world - who is currently leading with online Government services?
