Since i have been in a few implementations of Egovt. porjects (District & Province level), but those project succeed where interest of funding agency(like UN or US AID program) is there. Local IT professionals dont even understand its importance by themselves, so they do not cooperate implementing it.

I agree with you on that! they are worried about their extra income because if computerized it isn’t easy to modify things.

I have been involved in some private sector companies where all of their business information is in paper form, it was and still is a challenge to make them realize how efficient they can be when a correct IT solution is provided to them. Efficiency is not about working long hours, its about working smartly for 8 hours :) hopefully our e-government will realize this soooooon..
