Public Service Integration (PSI) in this paper is defined through
coordination, collaboration, and cooperation perspectives. Public service
Integration in the context of this paper is broadly defined as the
provision of an integrated cluster of public services, joint up and
connected in ways that suit customer requirements, sourced from a range
of partner organisations and service providers.
This integrated and collaborative approach may be accomplished by
merging structures, sharing budgets, combining in joint teams or sharing
information between distinct departments, or developing a joint
customer interface such as a website or portal.
