New iPhone – so how about eGov and mobile devices?

The new iphone 3G is out and as a Apple Fanboy i allready love it! There are the 3G, the longer batterylife, the software version 2.0 etc. And now 60 countries carry it. Most of Europe is covered and many citizens will carry on of these small computers, that they really are even more than [...]

Back at the “office” – reflecting on the conference

I’m back at the office at ITU, doing some reading, working on my NPM assignment, having spend exciting 5 days in Prag speaking at the East European eGovernment conference. IBM, where I work, and with who I have been co-written a paper titled “How Government Can Benefit From Web2.0”, sponsored the trip. 
Doing a bit of [...]

I find this focus very exciting/interesting – eGov correlates well with EA.So Im back to my other assignment og the month, which reminds some in [...]

Education & Achilles

These days, I am listening to the IT-Architecture soundtrack from the 2007 IT Architecture Conference.

technical terms, as well as a plan for transitioning between the two states.

Interoperability – ifølge hvidbog

Interoperabilitet, der kan forstås som det at etablere den
nødvendige sammenhæng på den mest effektive måde, kan
således ses som den vigtigste nøgle til digital forvaltning. I
arkitektursammenhæng handler interoperabilitet især om, at det
er nødvendigt med fælles integrationsprincipper og standarder
for udvekslingen af informationer.

Hvidbogens anbefaling af en serviceorienteret arkitekturmodel
fremhæver, at interoperabiliteten ikke blot er baseret på at
aflæse data fra [...]

IT arkitekturens opgave

IT-arkitekturens opgave er at organisere det overordnede design
af IT systemerne på en måde, så værdien af IT-investeringerne
bliver maksimeret, målt med forretningens definition af
værdien. Det betyder, at arkitekturprocessen skal tage
udgangspunkt i forvaltningens forretningsmæssige behov, som
så skal omsættes til identificerede behov for IT-understøttelse,
således at man kan optimere IT-anvendelsen herefter. De
teknologiske muligheder og IT-markedets konkrete produkter
spiller i denne [...]
