Economic competitiveness in the 21st Century requires interaction with government that is efficient and seamless. Governor Leavitt has set an aggressive e-government goal of offering all appropriate state government services online by 2004. He desires to remove the economic friction from interacting with government. This means providing government services conveniently and efficiently. Just think of it as providing services online, not in line.

This goal becomes a reality with the state's award-winning website, Utah.gov, and state government's initiatives to expand broadband access and promote paperless government.
