Abstract

Developing countries are witnessing an upsurge in the number of e-Governance projects being undertaken. This has presented a lot of issues and challenges in efficiently using ICT in delivering effective governance at the lowest societal costs. One of the critical areas where there is duplication of infrastructure and manpower in e-governance is the data center. There are several approaches to e-Governance but most of them require the different government agencies to procure and maintain the entire IT infrastructure themselves. Utility Based Computing (UBC) offers tremendous potential to develop a sustainable e-Governance framework wherein a common data center infrastructure can be setup to provide the e-governance solutions, with different departments being billed as per the usage of the infrastructure. The combined potential of UBC to deliver computing on demand and to pay as you go paradigm offer a new approach to deliver cost-effective and efficient governance to the citizens. However, this framework has also its risks and issues.
