Borgarbyggð is working on enhancing its e-services, by making the municipality web more interactive and getting citizens to use the web for applications and to monitor the progress of their cases. By enhancing this e-service, Borgarbyggð will improve their document management, which creates efficiency and safety in public administration.

With the IMPROVE project they created a bottom-up service where the user of the service points out what it is they need, and by getting their involvement we hope to create a user-friendly service.

The impact expected with this services is:

• Facilitates access to a public service in rural areas, when citizens can hand in applications over the web instead of going to the municipality.
• Better document management creates an efficiency which might give employees an extra time to focus on time – consuming tasks.
• They can see IMPROVE has a sustainable factor as a learning process which they can use for other departments in the municipality.
• Other thing is that the introduction of e-services makes a pressure on the telecommunications matters, consequently, work has begun with establishing the project of providing a fibre optic cable, and where residents make recommendations on ways that would be best to go in this regard, where the cable can be and where not.
