The Connected eGovernment (CONvErGE) proposal aims to create a number of eService applications in the areas of Government to Business (G2B), Government to Customers (G2C) and Government to Government (G2G). These ministry-specific eServices (referred to as 'vertical' components) will be enabled by a number of underlying shared enabling layers (referred to as 'horizontal' services) that will also lay the foundations for other eService applications that may be warranted at a future date by other Ministries/departments. These eServices will also be beneficial to businesses and to citizens in general. This project will contribute directly towards the attainment of Digital Malta, and the concept of one-Government will be further implemented, while at the same time capitalising on economies of scale.
