This is a Summary Report on Ireland's ambitions to be a leader in the provision of digital government services, published in July 2018.
Produced by the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer , Microsoft, and The Fletcher School at Tufts University, the Report is a joint project to:
• Assess Ireland and benchmark it against leading digital nations around the world.
• Look at the Irish Government’s policy and technical options for using new technology to deliver citizen services and to build on best practices (see six questions in Table 1).
• Examine, as a practical proof of concept, via a Digital Postbox prototype, the Unified Xchange Platform (UXP), a Cybernetica solution on Azure. UXP is a technology that connects information systems across separate (public sector) organisations to enable both secure data exchange between them and trustworthy communication with citizens and businesses.
This joint Summary Report summarises the work carried out by this joint project and sets out both the resultant digital benchmarking (pg.12) and technical proof of concept findings (pg.20), as well as potential opportunities and recommendations for next steps (pg.24).
