These indicators are clustered within four main top-level benchmarks: ▪ User Centricity – indicates to what extent (information about) a service is provided online and how this is perceived. ▪ Transparency – indicates to what extent governments are transparent regarding: i) their own responsibilities and performance, ii) the process of service delivery and iii) personal data involved. ▪ Cross-Border Mobility – indicates to what extent EU citizens and businesses can use online services in another country. ▪ Key Enablers – indicates the extent to which five technical pre-conditions are available online. There are: Identification (eID), Electronic documents (eDocuments), Authoritative2 Sources, and Digital Post. Digital Post refers to the possibility that governments communicate electronically-only with citizens or entrepreneurs through e.g. personal mailboxes or other digital mail solutions. These top-level benchmarks are measured using a life-events (e.g. mystery shopping) approach. Eight life events are included in the overall eGovernment performance score. Four of these life events were measured in 2013, 2015 and 2017 and the other four were measured in 2012, 2014, 2016, and again in 2018. The life events measured in 2017 were Regular business operations, Moving, Owning and driving a car and Starting a small claims procedure. The life events measured in 2018 are Business start-up, Losing and finding a job, Family life and Studying. Source: eGovernment Benchmark Report 2018 Country Factsheet 5 Digital Government Factsheets - Portugal Digital Government Highlights Digital Government Political Communications Portugal signed the Digital 9 (D9) charter in November 2018, thus integrating into the network of advanced digital nations that includes Canada, Estonia, Israel, Mexico, New Zealand, South Korea, United Kingdom and Uruguay. In signing this charter, Portugal committed itself to working towards the following principles: user needs; open standards; open source; open markets; open government; connectivity; teach children to code; assisted digital and commitment to share and learn. Digital Government Legislation Law no. 46/2018 was adopted, which established the legal regime for the security of cyberspace, transposing Directive 2016/1148 of the European Parliament, and of the Council of 6 July 2016 on2 measures to ensure a common level of network and information security throughout the Union. Digital Government Governance In 2018, Ms. Mariana Vieira da Silva took office as the Minister of the Presidency and of Administrative Modernisation. The Minister of the Presidency and of Administrative Modernisation is responsible for the modernisation of public administration and digital government. Digital Government Infrastructure The ePortugal portal, launched in February 2019, replaced the Citizen Portal as the main channel for accessing digital services offered by the public administration. It is the central repository for all services dedicated to citizens and companies, and in addition a directory of addresses, websites and mobile applications of the Public Administration. ePortugal is dynamic and adaptable to each user, offering several customisation options and a reserved area that allows each user to access different information regarding their relationship with the Public Administration. It has developed a strong focus on accessibility and usability, providing innovative support mechanisms such as the chatbot SIGMA and the possibility of taking digital queue tickets for onsite public services through the Citizen Map. Digital Government Services for Citizens and Businesses ▪ The Mobile Medical Electronic Prescription (PEM Mobile), launched in February 2019 by the Shared Services of the Ministry of Health (SPMS), is a mobile application that allows physicians to perform medical prescriptions using their smartphones. The PEM Mobile is a solution for in-home consultations or when the physician is away from the patient, allowing health professionals to issue medical prescriptions in a secure way. ▪ The Citizen Map – which provides geo-location and information for all Portuguese public services - is now available at mapa.eportugal.gov.pt, and a new standalone app will soon be launched. ▪ The new Social Security + Close mobile app launched in December 2018 provides an easier and simpler way for Citizens and Companies to access Social Security services wherever they are and whenever they want. This app is available for both Android and iOS and allows users to: o See the amount to receive/the expected date of payment of social benefits, such as unemployment benefit, sickness benefit, maternity and paternity allowance, etc.; o Access the Social Security Direct message box; o Synchronise the Social Security events calendar with the mobile device’s calendar. 6 Digital Government Factsheets - Portugal Digital Government Political Communications Specific political communications on digital government ICT Strategy 2020 – Public Administration Digital Transformation Strategy The ICT Strategy 2020, devised by the Council for Information and Communication Technologies in Public Administration (CTIC), approved in 2017 by the Resolution of the Council of Ministers nº 108/2017 of March 2, will guide the digital transformation of the Portuguese Public Administration until the year 2020. This Strategy comprises three main axes: • Promotion and integration and interoperability; • Innovation and competitiveness; • Resource sharing and2 investment in digital competences. These three axles foresee a total of 12 measures and 37 actions, that include activities to implement in a cross-sectoral and distributed way by the different government areas. The ICT Strategy was fully reviewed in 2018 to reflect the revision of the ICT sectorial plans that also occurred in 2018, thus showing the progress made on the implementation of the various cross-sectoral and sectoral measures and the related (and updated) data on investments, savings and economic and social benefits. The abovementioned CTIC, created in 2016 by the Council of Ministers’ Resolution no. 33/2016, of June 3, is the coordination structure responsible for developing and operationalising the ICT Strategy and the overall action plan for ICT in the Portuguese Public Administration. The CTIC responds directly to the Prime Minister, who delegated this attribution to the Minister of the Presidency and of Administrative Modernisation, and its Technical Committee (which

  • A Systematic Literature Review on Existing Digital Government Architectures: State-Of-The-Art, Challenges, and Prospects
    administrative sciences Article A Systematic Literature Review on Existing Digital Government Architectures: State-of-the-Art, Challenges, and Prospects Baseer Ahmad Baheer * , David Lamas and Sónia Sousa School of Digital Technologies, Tallinn University, Narva maantee 25, 10120 Tallinn, Estonia; [email protected] (D.L.); [email protected] (S.S.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +372-5375-4954 Received: 12 February 2020; Accepted: 16 April 2020; Published: 22 April 2020 Abstract: System architecture plays a crucial role in the establishment of Digital Government infrastructure. Over recent decades, various architectures have been introduced by scholars for the establishment of Digital Government infrastructure. However, there is no uniform agreement on Digital Government architecture concepts required for Digital Government infrastructure. To more thoroughly examine the Digital Government architecture introduced in this article, we collected 103 papers published between 2003 and 2020 retrieved from five leading literature databases. To conduct our research, we followed best practice scholarly accepted guidelines for researchers. Per the guidelines, we formulated research questions and employed an approach based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria to meet our research goals. Our study found evidence that there is a lack of knowledge in terms of the state-of-the-art in Digital Government infrastructure and its challenges concerning existing Digital Government architectures. We identified a set of primary Digital Government architecture characteristics and building blocks on which the Digital Government infrastructures are built. These components are meant to improve the design of future Digital Government systems and applications. Furthermore, our research revealed a need for designing a reference architecture to provide government organizations with the best practice knowledge of already existing Digital Government architectures.

  • CALL for PAPERS a Special Issue on Digital Nations - Smart Cities, Innovation & Sustainability
    CALL FOR PAPERS A Special Issue on Digital Nations - Smart Cities, Innovation & Sustainability Nations are rapidly transforming by leveraging on information and communication technologies (ICTs). The access to information and knowledge across the web enables new innovations and the creation of smart cities. Organisations and governments at all levels initiate ICT-driven programmes to stimulate innovation and address the needs of the key stakeholders. This results in radical changes in the way nations are organized. In "Digital India” the Government of India is implementing a national transformation enabled by ICTs. A major focus in such transformation is the access and provisioning of digital services (including e-government services) across the urban and rural citizens of the country through the Internet. Another such notable initiative is the Smart City projects. Initiatives, like Smart Cities, are likely to play a critical role (hence is a core component of) in urbanisation and such transformation across the nation. Other examples of such regional and national level initiatives are the European Innovation Partnership on Smart Cities and Communities and the Smart Cities plan of Australia. In the era of smart technologies, like Internet of things and big data analytics, these are becoming essential components for creating Smart Cities. These technologies are changing the way organisations leverage on their information assets in the wake of digitisation of products and processes. Sensors embedded in smart devices, like mobile phones and wearables, used by consumers are creating a wealth of data which can be used for social welfare. There has been a huge focus on the emergence of innovative business models, service models and offerings, through which the stakeholder’s value is being maximised.
