Summary

This Government Insights study presents our top 10 predictions for Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) or APEJ governments for 2008. This study discusses key issues, conditions, and challenges that government officials and organizations must address as they perform their roles and responsibilities in IT strategic planning, investment decision making, and technology program delivery.

"As technology and business drivers force governments to further optimize the value of IT investments, next-generation technologies, such as Web 2.0, virtualization, mobile technologies, and biometrics, will feature more prominently on governments' information and communication technology (ICT) agendas. However, partnerships that help governments understand, deploy, and measure the outcomes of these technologies will determine the success of technology implementations,"says Raphael Phang, research director, Government Insights, Asia/Pacific.
