NDL Survey Conclusion: “respondents recognise that
implementing widespread citizen self service and achieving
their aims has to be underpinned by the right technology.
It demands a seamless process from front to back – in other
words, the key element of successful self-service is costeffective integration, which will reduce or even eliminate
wasteful and expensive re-keying of data”.
