G2C benefits

G2C Should Be Bigger

Ecommerce is ideally suited to G2C interactions, however because Government is both conservative, and often chooses contractors that are expert in Government systems rather than ecommerce there have been a number of expensive failures and there are a large number of G2C ecommerce systems that have very poor usability. Generally Government is a monopoly so it does not have the competitive force that has driven the improvements in B2C ecommerce and is often behind B2B in functionality and roll out.

Ecommerce Benefits

  • Self service shopping
  • 24 x7
  • Accurate orders

  • much lower cost than previous methods
  • quicker to change than previous methods
  • much better more customised service
  • Much lower running costs

Results of eCommerce Benefits

Government is still gradually adopting ecommerce, and the benefits are now well proven. However there is still a tendency to significantly over specify and pay resulting in overly complex ecommerce systems. A low cost ecommerce system ensures benefits, and allows the service to be promoted so that customers are aware that they can interact electronically.

Modern Ecommerce Requirements

  • Self service - good usability ensures system is self service and minimises costs
  • FAQ and help - process to ensure that all queries can be answered on line
  • All ways on - 100% uptime payment fail over so site up even if bank down

  • ability to support jumps in demand
