Governments started e-government strategies to renew the public sector and eliminate existing bureaucracy and therefore reduce costs. Interoperability appears as the mean for accomplishing the interlinking of information systems, applications and ways of working not only within governments but also in their interaction with the administration, enterprises and public sector. The main source of administration costs is the traditional use of paper as the linkage element between public agencies. Integrated electronic processes between public agencies can be the solution to reduce these costs and create a more efficient public sector. This paper proposes an approach for measuring the benefit of incorporating interoperability in e-government. This approach is based on the identification and analysis of certain processes (business process modelling) and on the activity based costing method. In particular, this approach concerns the measuring of benefit of applying interoperability in e-government services.

While there has been some considerable investment in information systems implementation and usage in the public sector, success has often been limited. Attempts by researchers to address this situation has been diverse and often inconclusive. A publication by the MIS Quarterly journal offers some direction. The study, which focused on information systems development (ISD), highlighted the need to explore how mutual understanding among key stakeholders is created, or the extent to which they have a shared conception of the ISD project, and further how such mutual understanding is changing, develops, or deteriorates over time. On the tenets of the study, this chapter attempts to chart a path for future research in interoperable financial management systems implementation and usage in the public sector. It presents a viewpoint that establishes the need to explore the creation and sustenance of mutual understanding between stakeholders in the implementation and usage of interoperable or integrated financial management systems in the public sector.

Management information systems (MIS) are fundamental for public sector organizations seeking to support the work of managers. Yet they are often ignored in the rush to focus on ‘sexier’ applications. This chapter aims to redress the balance by providing a detailed analysis of public sector MIS. It first locates MIS within the broader management monitoring and control systems that they support. Understanding the broader systems and the relationship to public sector inputs, processes, outputs and outcomes is essential to understanding MIS. The chapter details the different types of reports that MIS produce, and uses this as the basis for an MIS model and a description of the decision-making benefits that computerized MIS can bring. Finally, the chapter describes generic public sector MIS that address internal government transactions, public administration/ regulation, and public service delivery. Real-world examples of all types are provided from the U.S., England, Africa, and Asia. <BR>
