Abstract

Two main trends related to e-government are currently observed: constant development of computer infrastructure, and constant increase of users' skills and knowledge of operating computers and the Internet. Public sector should take advantage of those improved conditions for development and deployment of e-government solutions. This can be achieved through the adoption of new architectures such as cloud computing and service-oriented architecture, in the public sector. Cloud computing permits to uniformly cover the whole country with e-government solutions, independently of divergence of local administrative units that may be better or worse prepared to provide e-services. Service-oriented architecture facilitates provision of compound services covering whole customer processes, where a customer may be a citizen or an enterprise. Compound services provided jointly by administrative units and enterprises stimulate development of e-economy and create attractive job for well educated people.
