CGI.br launches book "Survey on ICT use in Brazil 2008" at CONIP

Entity also hosts a lecture to discuss electronic government in the country

The Brazilian Internet Steering Committee (CGI.br) takes part in the 15th Congress of Informatics and Innovation in Public Management (CONIP), an event that will gather authorities and IT managers to discuss best practices in the use of technologies for the public sector, from June 8 to 10, 2009, in São Paulo.

On June 9, at 8:30 am, Alexandre Barbosa, coordinator of the Center for Studies on Information and Communication Technologies (CETIC.br), will deliver a lecture to present the main results recorded in the ICT Households and ICT Enterprises 2008 surveys, detailing specific indicators on the use of electronic government in companies and by citizens.

"We will show the proportion of individuals and companies that used electronic government in the last 12 months, which services were most requested, and others they wish to access. We will also evaluate the main reasons pointed out by the interviewees for not using these services," explains the executive.

On the same day, at 10:30 am, CGI.br will launch at its stand the book "Survey on the Use of Information and Communication Technologies in Brazil 2008". This publication, which compiles the two surveys, provides a complete overview of the possession and use of computers, the Internet, and other types of technologies by companies and end users. It addresses aspects such as access to ICTs, security, use of emails, spam, electronic government, skills, wireless access, e-commerce, and purchase intentions.

"We mapped over 21.5 thousand urban and rural households, besides interviewing around 3.5 thousand companies across the country. The goal was to have a diagnosis of the Brazilian reality and assess the evolution of this scenario in recent years," explains Alexandre Barbosa. "What we found is that Brazilians, in general, have had more access to technologies like computers and the Internet, for example. However, we still see significant disparities when comparing the realities of rural and urban areas. The book we will release is a global result of these surveys," he comments.
