Arquitectura de suporte á integraçao de serviços no governo electrónico (original) (raw)

Besides allowing on-line delivery of the services, electronic government also promises to integrate these services from the client perspective. Thus, in thesis, it can contribute to the development of a client-centred approach in government, answering to one of the main challenges of the New Public Management movements. In this dissertation a new architecture that supports the integration of services in the scope of electronic government is justified, defined, presented, discussed, and validated. The proposed architecture is versatile, secure, and based on normalized and easily available technologies. It supports the implementation of single access points, concurrent providers, channel integration, and life events. Additionally, the areas of the information society and electronic government are revised, the main technologies and architectures for service integration are identified, and a case study is presented. The case study includes analysis of processes in a local government institution and its simulation using a prototype that implements the defined architecture.
