Executive Summary

P7: Executive Summary
such studies concerning Public Administration as a whole or at least the sectors in
which the use of similar technologies would be possible.
5.1.1 Conclusions
In order to collect the material required for the studies (deliverable D1), despite the effort to
apply a more structured and definitely organised methodological frame, it was required to
deal with each Authority using a different approach, as a result of the different way of dealing
with the “studies archive” in each one of them. Indeed, using the term “studies archive” is
risky, since an overwhelming majority of these studies are dispersed in the records of
different Organizational Units and sometimes even in the personal records of the Authority
executives.
In total, six strategic texts and twenty - two studies were collected. The studies involve the
evolution of the sector ICT (1), Information Society (9), eGovernment (8), eBusiness (2),
Systems Security (1) and Digital Health (1).

The majority of these studies were conducted during the year 2004, which means that there
is substantial delay in current research work.
