Abstract

peer-reviewed ; E-Government has long endured a myriad of problematic issues associated with traditional enterprise resource planning (ERP). Cloud computing is being lionized as a nascent platform that possesses the capabilities to reduce costs and drive radical innovations throughout all spheres of e- Government. One such low hanging fruit is that of Cloud ERP which is positioned as a revolutionary approach to the traditional ERP implementation. In this reflection paper, we use the 5-4-3 cloud stack layer model to identify value potential for particular aspects of cloud computing in ERP for e-Government provision.
