Abstract

Cloud computing is one of the latest ICT innovations, offering many advantages and leading to the digital transformation of private and public organizations. Despite the associated benefits, initiatives for cloud computing adoption in public administration are in early stage and relatively slow, comparing to initiatives for adoption in private organizations, due to various influencing factors. At the same time, academics and practitioners indicate that cloud computing not only has the potential to offer significant advantages in the public sector, but is also expected to be a fundamental part of e-government strategy in the upcoming years. The aim of this paper is to investigate the relationship between cloud computing and e-government, to highlight the importance of cloud computing adoption in public administration, and to offer insights on the way that cloud computing can contribute to the successful deployment of e-government services. Through the study of relevant theoretical models and frameworks, enabling and inhibiting factors for cloud computing adoption in the public sector are identified, classified, and analyzed. Furthermore, initiatives that have taken place so far in Europe and in Greece in the area of cloud computing and e-government are presented. The paper contributes to the knowledge domain of cloud computing adoption and e-government and indicates fields that can be further researched in this area.
