E-Government Architecture

The architecture model emphasizes the importance of user engagement, efficiency through streamlined processes, collaboration, and the use of technology standards for data sharing and service delivery. It suggests a comprehensive approach to e-governance, aligning business processes with information and technology architectures to enhance government services in a devolved setting. 

• Presentation Layer:
  • The presentation layer is the user interface through which citizens and businesses interact with e-government services. It includes web interfaces, mobile apps, and other user-facing components designed to provide intuitive and user-friendly access to government information and services.
• E-Government Layer:
  • Objective: Achieve an informed, well-organized, and controlled government that optimizes services for counties and national governments.
  • Key Functions:
    • Is focused on better services towards countries and national governments 
    • Will not allow its facilities to be misused 
    • Is well informed
    • Is efficiently organized and in control of its internal affairs. 
• Business Architecture Layer:
  • Objective: Streamline processes, promote collaboration, and provide a functional view of government lines of business.
  • Key Functions:
    • Describes government business functions.
    • Facilitates collaboration.
    • aims to simplify the existing processes and procedures, 
    • reduce the manual touch points and 
    • make the entire transaction cycle friendly. 
    • including its internal operations and services for citizens,
• Information Architecture Layer:
  • The information architecture layer in e-government architecture focuses on the organization, structure, and management of information assets within digital government systems.
  • It encompasses the design and implementation of data models, databases, metadata, and other components that govern how information is captured, stored, processed, and accessed.
• Technology Architecture Layer:
  • In e-government architecture, the technological architecture layer focuses on the specific technologies and infrastructure components that support the implementation and operation of digital government services.
  • This layer encompasses the hardware, software, networking, and communication technologies utilized to build and maintain e-government systems.
