Presentation
Enterprise Architecture in Public Administration: Time and space challenges

We all agree that enterprise architecture in government can support the coordination across the public authorities and it is an important tool for supporting the inter-governmental streamlining initiatives. Enterprise architecture is considered to be a critical parameter for propagating e-government and it is an appropriate tool for ensuring a common framework with a view to quality improvement, resource optimisation and cost reduction. This presentation will put the emphasis on difficulties of the real world, to enlarge the scope of enterprise architecture to include different stakeholders involved in each citizen process and the difficulties to put enterprise architecture not only on effective IT governance but also in a political agenda.
