Information management and technology planning is critical to achieving the objectives in this service plan. The Ministry of Finance will continue to enhance the following strategic information management and technology investments to improve

1. services to the public:
   
   
   • OneStop Business Registry: provides integrated information and registration services for businesses, primarily designed to allow British Columbia entrepreneurs, owners and operators to interact more easily, expediently and efficiently with government at all levels
     
     
   • Corporate Online (COLIN): This system will integrate with other services, such as OneStop Business Registry and BC government authentication services to provide more seamless service to businesses
     
     
   • Electronic Banking Initiatives: projects to (i) increase government use of e-banking services such as Internet payments, telephone/PC banking services, and pre-authorized debit; (ii) increase the functionality of these services; and (iii) investigate new services such as BC Buy Button, a common interface for internet credit card payment. As British Columbia's government departments make use of these services, citizens and businesses will be able to complete more transactions and obtain more services online
