The document discusses eGovernance in Austria. It notes that Austria has 13 federal ministries and over 2,000 municipalities. Cooperation between different levels of government is crucial for eGovernance as over 70% of administration is not at the federal level. Key aspects of Austria's eGovernance approach include a federal Chief Information Officer, an eGovernment act establishing a legal basis, and initiatives like the Electronic File System and citizen card to facilitate online interactions. Constant coordination and focus on factors like interoperability, security and citizen centricity have supported Austria's highly developed eGovernance systems.

20. Electronic File System
The „Electronic File” – shortly referred to as ELAK - is one of the
largest projects of the Austrian administrative reform. It constitutes
a core element of the Austrian E-Government initiative for
improvement in terms of quality and speed of services in the entire
federal administration and is used in all federal ministries.
o simplify und speed up internal processes
o ELAK is the original and authentic file
o the electronic file will almost completely replace paper documents
o the electronic request will be registered automatically,
o followed by logging and editing after authorization,
o the electronic file will be dispatched and fees will be invoiced
o improve the quality of business process documentation
o additionally, citizen-requests will be handled faster and
o official documents can be delivered via electronic means
o simplify change management (structure of ministries)
