A few Examples:
1. Accessing Public Records seamlessly in an automated way ñ citizens will be able
to access public records (like Land related forms, Birth Certificates, University
Admission forms and the like), fill necessary forms and submit them
automatically on their own. Several steps of the Government existing processes in
this regard will be automated saving huge costs, improving efficiency and with a
great customer service.
2. Bill Payment ñ users will be able to pay various bills like electric bill, water bill,
gas bill without staying in a long line.
3. E-procurement ñ Govt. will be able to make its procurement process very
effective by automating it using ICT.
4. Job service ñ various job related services can be automated making it very useful
and simple for users.
5. Government administrative processes (file transfer, entering data in files,
analyzing comments, sharing files to all involved etc) will be very simplified.

Thus, the need for e-Gov is very clear. It is important to note that
because of the large Digital Divide, high population density, many
people under the poverty line and the like, the need for e-Gov need is
more prominent in the developing countries. But there are large
Digital Divides in some sections of population in the developed
countries as well (e.g. in U.S. there is a large Digital Divide in Native
Indians as well as in rural areas). So,
e-Gov is needed for all countries.

• Easy access to other Internet services (e.g. after finishing e-Gov, a
users can go to email, search or shopping application). netECHO
basically makes it a web based IVR so that user can easily access
all web related features and applications.
2. Security Issue
Obviously, password and user id are not secured in any voice
system. To ensure that we
have a secured e-Gov application, net ECHO has two options:
a. Using Caller ID (i.e. ANI) so that a user would need to call from
some specific pre-
registered phone number)
b. Additional security steps / questions if a user is allowed to use
any phone
3. Regulatory Issue
For e-Gov, regulatory issue may not be a real issue.
However, net ECHO can accommodate regulatory issues, if
any.
