Civil Service Computerisation Programme (1980-1999)

The Civil Service Computerisation Programme initially started with the focus on improving public administration through the effective use of infocomm technology. This involved automating work functions and reducing paperwork for greater internal operational efficiencies. Over time, this evolved into the provision of onestop services where government systems were extended to the private sector in implementations like TradeNet, MediNet and LawNet. Then in early 1990s, emphasis shifted towards the consolidation of computing resources.
