Abstract

Increasingly e-governments are turning to public and private partnerships as an alternative option to fund IT projects. Also The Hong Kong Government developed ESDlife.com as a one-stop portal to deliver public and private information and services. The portal’s brand name “ESDLife” best demonstrates the vision to make “life” simpler and easier for the Hong Kong community. This paper is to discuss whether this business model would deliver a competitive advantage to customers using the case of “ESDLife. E-government, like e-commerce, will not be automatically successful by investing resources without clear strategic understanding of the critical success factors.
