The Potential Opportunities and Challenges of E-Government

Electronic government (e-government) intersects many legislative issues, including privacy, digital divide (the lack of equal access to computers, whether due to a lack of financial resources or necessary skills), public access to government information, service delivery, and information security. E-government solutions are prominently represented in efforts to improve the management and efficiency of government information technology resources. This paper defines the definition of e-government, introduces the development and the types of e-government at first, and then outlines some of the major potential opportunities and challenges of e-government.
