Eighteen government services received awards for excelling in e-Government services at the inaugural e-Government Excellence Awards.
Six distinguished winner awards and 12 merit awards were given out in six award categories: Websites, e-Services, m-Services, Data Sharing, People Engagement and Shared System & Services.
The awards aim to recognise exceptional government initiatives that use information technology in an innovative way to enhance government operations, provide a more open and transparent government, and deliver impactful citizen services.
The Housing & Development Board (HDB) was awarded the eGov Excellence Awards for three projects.
HDB’s winning projects are MyDoc@HDB, Mobile@HDB, and HDB InfoWEB.
Two of the Land Transport Authority’s IT projects also won awards.
MyTransport.SG Mobile App emerged as the Distinguished Winner in the m-Services category, while its data sharing initiative DataMall@MyTransport.SG took home a Distinguished Winner award in the Data Sharing category for its contributions to the developer community.
LTA said DataMall@MyTransport.SG was conceived through a cloud computing programme in November 2011 with the aim of sharing LTA’s rich repository of land transport data such as public transport, traffic and geospatial data.
MyTransport.SG offers a wide range of information for all modes of land transportation – empowering commuters, motorists and cyclists in Singapore to make informed decisions and better plan their journey with information on the nearest bus-stops and taxi stands, nearest cycling paths, parking lot location and availability, traffic cameras, and real-time road conditions.
The award was given by the Ministry of Finance and the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore.
The projects were chosen out of 93 submissions from 49 agencies.
