131. [Kommentaar] "The Baltic economies after a perfect storm"

by Marek Tiits The global crisis stroke, as argued by many, by complete surprise and there was very little individual small economies such as the ones on the Baltic Sea Region could themselves do to avoid the domestic crisis that followed. Is this really so? What have we learned from this crisis? Are there any extra lessons to be taken? The general hope and perception emerging from recent international media coverage is that the global financial and economic crisis is nearly over. The employment figures remain sluggish, but financial markets enjoyed last year extraordinary gains, and a number of economies have started to demonstrate again quite reasonable growth rates. In the Baltic Sea Region, also things seem to have started to return back to normal. The quarterly GDP growth was in Q4 2009 for the countries in the Baltic Sea region close to 0% or even slightly positive. Estonia prepares for adoption of euro in 2011 and the budget crisis in Greece has overshadowed the woes in the Baltic States. The view that the crisis is nearly over and everything will continue as previously represents a rather comforting outlook. This is a very tempting, yet dangerous way of thinking.

133. Central Baltic Living Labs for Digital Services [BALLAD]

The idea with the Ballad project is to open up the markets around Central Baltic Sea Region for Digital Service by developing living labs methods to support SMEs. The SMEs have digital services for a local market and by using the methods developed in the project the services can be transferred over to a market in a participating country. It shows that there are good conditions for the countries to co-operate over the Central Baltic Sea Region in the area of Living Labs and Digital Services. We can learn from each other, support each other and support SME to use our methods to enter our local market with new competitive services. Project Objective The overall objectives of the project is to make the Baltic Sea region (and eventually all of Europe) a single market for digital, broad band-based services by supporting collaborative innovation based on local competitive advantage hereby also facilitating the access to innovations for users all around the Baltic Sea. The goal of the project is the putting into place of an operative collaboration network (network of Living Labs) using models and methods that increases the transfer of digital services and open up the markets in-between the different regions involved in the project. The services will come from SMEs generating services locally and they will be spread effectively into other regions through this project. The Living Labs like organizations serve as natural hubs in this scheme. More information: ballad-livinglabs.eu

134. [Uuring] E-lahendused on muutnud avalikke teenuseid kordades kiiremaks

Majandus- ja Kommunikatsiooniministeeriumi tellimusel valminud uuringust selgus, et e-lahenduste kasutamine on muutnud avalikud teenused tavateenustega võrreldes kuni 12 korda kiiremaks, kvaliteetsemaks ning uuringu käigus valminud hindamismetoodika aitab neid tulevikus veelgi efektiivsemalt luua. MKMi riigi infosüsteemide osakonna juhataja Margus Püüa sõnul on Eestis mõõdetud küll e-teenuste kasutatavust ning rahulolu, kuid sisukat mõjuanalüüsi pole siiani läbi viidud. „Uuringu eesmärk oligi välja töötada meetod ning selle abil hinnata, kui palju aega ja raha e-teenused säästavad,“ ütles Püüa. Pilootuuringu käigus hinnati 15 erinevat e-teenust. Nende seas avaldasid suurimat mõju Maksu- ja Tolliametile deklaratsioonide esitamine ning elektrooniline ettevõtete registreerimine. „Kui varasemalt võttis ettevõtte registreerimine aega hinnanguliselt 375 minutit, siis pärast e-lahenduse loomist võtab sama toiming keskmiselt 30 minutit,“ tõi Püüa näiteks. Seniste lahenduste hindamisest olulisemgi on aga tulevikus loodavate e-teenuste maksimaalne kasu. „Loodud metoodika näol on tegemist tööriistaga, mis aitab meil kõikide tuleviku e-lahenduste mõju hinnata juba enne nende loomist,“ lisas Püüa.
