The United Nations has published its bi-annual report analyzing what is known as electronic government. Hoy newspaper defines this as the review, redesign and optimization of the processes as a previous step in the introduction of any change in the technology or in the functions of what public organizations produce since there is a double dimension as a catalyzing agent for changes in the process and as a technological tool used to improve the performance of the state. The UN report listed the Dominican Republic in 84th place, some 16 notches lower than two years ago.
Meanwhile, countries such as Chile, Uruguay, Argentina, Mexico and Brazil are more than 40 places above the DR in the report that includes strategies in the electronic administration to deal with the current financial and economic crisis by making use of the electronic government. Dominican technology and telecommunications expert Hiddekel Morrison says that it is a shame that there is a Presidential Information and Communication Technologies Office (OPTIC) that cannot even comply halfway with its principal objective which is to develop electronic government. Morrison said that the OPTIC budget, in the millions, is poorly used buying computers for "donations" and maintaining a call center and web pages that are only informative and dysfunctional.
