E-Government Information Systems Interoperability in Developing Countries

Abstract

Objective: This study examines the factors that influence information system (IS) interoperability of e-Government focusing on IS Interoperability as the key concept to reach successful e-Government implementation in Jordan.
 Methodology: Use of qualitative methods of inquiry has been made to explore study variables and their relationships. A variety of published literatures related to scope of the study has been reviewed along with analyzing the e-Government strategy in Jordan during period 2014-2016. The interoperability levels of e-Government IS have been discussed in this paper. Finally, significant barriers that affect IS interoperability have been identified along with the factors that can drive it successful implementation.
 Findings: Technical, semantic, and organizational interoperability are main stages for successful e-Government IS interoperability. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure, top management support, human resources, data and information, security and privacy, and business process have been found as the major obstacles. Whereas, high level interoperability goals, commitment of government bodies, and customer focus have been identified as main success factors that lead to e-Government IS interoperability. The study suggests that strategies and work process should be aligned, common standards and knowledge should be shared to move towards e-transformation in Jordan.
 Implications: This study can be starting point for the real life practical solutions for successful implementation of e-Government conceptual frame work. Finding of the study can be used to generalize about the factors that lead to success of IS interoperability within government agencies in other developing countries. This study enriches existing literature in this context. On practical side, the study contributes by identifying IS interoperability success factors and barriers within government agencies. The proposed conceptual model is first stage in the process of understanding factors that influence e-Government IS interoperability. Further studies may be needed to empirically evaluate the proposed conceptual model.

A study on the factors affect to technological adoption of e-Government Information System interoperability in Vietnam

“…34 In the other side, Sulehat, N. A., & Taib, C. A. investigate the factors impact to E-Government Information Systems Interoperability in Jordan case study. 12,13 This paper also show key successful factors as well as the barrier and challenger factors affect to implementation of E-Government development. By comparing and make matching with E-Government development strategy of Jordan, the paper also summary the research results from various sources of literature review.…”

“…About interoperability intention to use, previous literature are too emphasis on Intention to use and adopt e-service provision, E-Government overview, miss concern to the method how to connect and link among different elements in E-Government ecosystem 12,13,14 .…”

“…50 Risk Management could impact to interoperability attitude to use and usefulness based on launch cost and operating cost. 11,12 Therefore, I hypothesize the factor as: H1. Risk management has positively influence on Perceived Easy of Use.…”

“…Among various and different organizations, they have shared vision and collaboration through coordination to achieve their purpose. 51 Collaboration and Coordination can effect to interoperability attitude to use and usefulness 11,12 . Therefore, I hypothesize the factor as: H3.…”

Comparative Analysis of Effective Project Governance Practices and Benefit Realization Management for the Successful Execution of Projects in NGO Industry

“…As per AMP (2015) & PMI (2016) the failures of a massive number of projects were not able to meet their requisite objectives with just 40% of the project goals and objectives aligning with the strategy of an organization (PMI, 2014). It becomes more troubling when there is a continuous stress from the top management onto the project/programme managers to reveal the benefits of the project to the sponsoring organization and to the giving to the strategy realization within the projectized organization as per explained by Sulehat & Taib, (2016).…”
