ABSTRACT: Over the past years,
many businesses, government and individuals have been started to adopt the
internet and web-based technologies in their works to take benefits of costs
reduction and better utilization of existing resources. The cloud computing is
a new way of computing which aims to provide better communication style and
storage resources in a safe environment via the internet platform. The
E-governments around the world are facing the continued budget challenges and
increasing in the size of their computational data so that they need to find
ways to deliver their services to citizens as economically as possible without
compromising the achievement of desired outcomes. Considering E-government is
one of the sectors that is trying to provide services via the internet so the
cloud computing can be a suitable model for implementing E-government architecture
to improve E-government efficiency and user satisfaction. In this paper, the
adoption of cloud computing strategy in implementing E-government services has
been studied by focusing on the relationship between E-government and cloud
computing by listing the benefits of creation E-government based on cloud
computing. Finally in this paper, the challenges faced the implementation of
cloud computing for E-government are discussed in details. As a result from
understanding the importance of cloud computing as new, green and cheap
technology is contributed to fixing and minimizing the existing problems and
challenges in E-government so that the developed and developing countries need
to achieve E-government based on cloud computing.
