Sustainability

While defining the sustainability of e-gov services, we considered two different dimensions of implementation and adoption. The implementation dimension deals with the technology, budget, and human resources required to implement the project, whereas the adoption dimension considers the design and approach of delivery for wider user participation and adoption. We incorporated these dimensions into our project to support in developing UAE vision 2021 in the design of sustainable e-gov services. E-gov maturity models are:
1. Implementation
• A detailed assimilation process is desirable.
• should support gov in designing streamlined services.
• should emphasize using state-of-the-art technology.
2. Adoption
• should support the gov in identifying agile accessibility to the service.
• should be able to support gov in developing awareness and trust among a group of people.

We defined evaluation parameters from the perspective of sustainable e-gov service, that is, cost, time, effort, and the adoption rate of offered services. The findings of the case study and survey were assessed against the set parameters to evaluate whether the proposed
scope was able to meet them. The rationale behind using two different methods of evaluation was the nature of the parameters required. The cost, time, and effort to implement e-gov services were evaluated by employing a case-study, as it required actual implementation of the model in a real project. customer satisfaction and adoption were evaluated by the survey method.

Sustainability of project we measured by:
• Human capital—all professional and experts employed
• Social desirability—needed by society
• Cultural acceptability—it should not violate certain cultural values and norms
• Technical feasibility—able to be attained or implemented
• Political expediency—in compliance with government rules and regulations
• Operational viability—should be productive
• Environmentally rebuts— a positive impact on the environment
