Government-to-Business (abbreviated G2B) is the online non-commercial interaction between local and central government and the commercial business sector, rather than private individuals (G2C), with the purpose of providing businesses information and advice on e-business ‘best practices’.
This will constitute the various services a business house needs to get from the Government, which includes getting licenses etc. In a similar scenario, it can also flow from a business house to the Government as in the case of procurements, from such business houses by the Government. This will become a B2G service. Few essentials for achievement are
- Standards – Standards for Electronic Transactions or E-Commerce needs to be built. The standards will also include standards on content etc.
- Payment Mechanism – A secure payment mechanism needs to be built to enable payments over the electronic medium.
- PKI – PKI or Public key Infrastructure is required for secure and authentic transactions.
