Abstract
Chile's government has used
information technology to achieve a customer-driven public
sector that is more transparent, efficient, and accountable.
Chile wanted to put the government at the service of the
people, and so pursued technological innovations that enable
the government to meet citizens' needs simply, quickly,
and efficiently. To that end, the government developed an
information technology strategic plan for 1998-2000. One
area in which the success was particularly distinguished was
the comprehensive reform of the public procurement system.
In just a short period, reform has generated clear savings,
created a better information market, and increased
transparency and accountability in government procurement.
