Achieving customer-focused Government for the Isle of Man

Jupiter Programme Strategic Plan

Charteris was commissioned to undertake a re-review of the Isle of Man’s e-commerce strategy in January and February 2003. This exercise was to follow up the work completed in early 2000, by examining and reporting on progress since the last review, undertaking an updated analysis of competitive jurisdictions and making recommendations for moving the initiative forward. As an extension to this exercise, Charteris was additionally asked to examine the “digital divide” issue.

This document is intended to set out an all-inclusive E-Commerce/E-Society Strategy for the Isle of Man, the object of which is to drive the Isle of Man towards being one of the most advanced e-societies globally.
