Programme of the Austrian Federal Government for the 24th
Legislative period (2008-2013)
The Federal Government envisaged a modern and efficient administration at all levels in
Austria in the interests of its citizens and economy. For this reason, the two coalition
parties – the Social Democratic Party (SPÖ) and the Austrian People’s Party (ÖVP) – worked
together on the jointly drafted
Government Programme (2008-2013)
in the Federal
Government in order for Austria to continue to move forward during the past five-year
period.
ICT-Strategy 2005+ (2005)
The platform 'Digital Austria' coordinated a working programme in the new
'
ICT-Strategy
2005+
', which aimed at promoting the cooperation of all partners - federal, state, cities,
municipalities and business - in the field of eGovernment in order to provide an efficient
and coordinated approach overall.
eGovernment Initiative (2003)
The Offensive aimed at the swift and sustainable evolution of eGovernment, in order for
Austria to reach a leading position in the EU. Within the scope of the Austrian eGovernment
Offensive, the main parts of eGovernment have been developed with interoperable
communication in mind. The main objective was to avoid incompatible solutions and
divergent parallel developments. The implementation of different interfaces in eGovernment
applications would result in enormous effort and not so optimal quality, if sub-functions
were integrated.
