VALUESInforME is the primary resource for electronic access to public Maine government information and the online transaction of public business with the State of Maine. InforME will champion and facilitate e-government for state and municipal agencies. InforME will ensure that the electronic services it provides are citizen-centric, user-friendly, and accessible and will actively promote online government services to the public. InforME will be a responsible steward of electronic government information, respecting the privacy of personal information provided by citizens of Maine, within the law. INTRODUCTIONSince 1999, InforME has been combining advanced technology with user-friendly design to meet the service needs of citizens, businesses, and government. This is the philosophy behind the many online services that are currently offered through the Maine.gov portal. InforME has developed more than 425 e-government services, a consistently award-winning Maine.gov website and a variety of enterprise solutions. InforME and Maine.gov have become an integral part of the state’s delivery of services to the public. In conjunction with Maine state and municipal agencies, InforME will continue to develop electronic services to provide an even greater impact. The maturation of the Internet, rapidly growing public demand for electronic services, and new technologies bring new challenges and opportunities for the expansion of e-government in Maine. The InforME Board’s Strategic Plan sets the key goals and direction for InforME, to ensure that InforME continues to achieve its vision for serving both government and the public.
