Platform-based #digital transformation (example egov)

This blogpost is an example of digital transformation in e-government with the use of platforms (extracted from "e-government reference model #GeGF2014 #egov #entarch #bpm #soa" http://improving-bpm-systems.blogspot.ch/2014/10/e-government-reference-model-gegf2014.html  ).


In general, the e-government implementation architecture is as in Figure 1. It is a combination of an initial coordination platform (the social collaborative extranet) and an e-gov business execution platform (the coordination and integration backbone and functional services to be “cabled” to it).


Figure 1 Implementation architecture overview

Let us put this architecture in the evolution context. For the long time, e-government implementation architecture was portal-centric and its applications (blue "emabas") were extensions for some internal applications as show in Figure 2.

The proposed e-government implementation architecture is actually, the introductory architecture which introduces necessary flexibility. E-government applications may span several existing applications as shown in Figure 3.

As existing applications are evolving, they will be replaced by processes and services as well thus creating transitional application architecture as shown in Figure 4.

With converting all previously monolith applications into processes and services, the target application architecture will be reach as show in Figure 5. E-government applications will be just connections to a cloud of governmental services.

And, moving e-government to the really e-social system, the application architecture will morph into a social cloud interacting with the government service cloud as shown in Figure 6. The latter serves as a platform for social, professional, private, voluntary and other services to be integrated into e-social system.

For existing e-government systems the evolution from the introductory architecture upwards does require primarily the systematic use of BPM and SOA. Green-field e-government initiatives may start from the target architecture.

All stages form a sort of ladder for step-by-step evolution as shown in Figure 7.
