Cambodian ICT Masterplan 2020 1. Technical Development Framework for Cambodia e-Government 1.1 Introduction The RGC defines Technical Development Framework for Cambodia e-Government (hereinafter referred to as “Cambodia e-Government Development Framework”) as a set of core code (class, interface) for developing the public information system, which is the assortment of tools and guides that supports development and operations of systems in Cambodia. The vision of this project is to build-up a systematic and efficient e-Government service operation. To achieve the vision, the plan aims to standardize the e-Government development, enhance the system quality and prepare low cost/high efficiency operation structure through introduction of the development framework. 1.2 e-Government System in Cambodia The RGC has been developing e-Government services projects centered on informatization of government organizations since the beginning of the 2000s. The most representative e-Government services projects include GAIS (Government Administrative Information System), PAIS (Provincial Administrative Information System), FMIS (Financial Management Information System), HRMIS (Human Resource Management Information System), and so on. But, according to UN e-Government Development Index in 2012, the total rank of Cambodia is the 155th out of 193 countries. And, it means Cambodia still has low competitiveness in e-Government services. The analysis results on general issues related to developing e-Government information systems of Cambodia are as follows: lack of standardized and comprehensive progress, high dependency on other countries and lack of ICT budgets. The relevant technical issues are as follows: difference of applied technologies, low interoperability, low reusability and inequality of development quality. And in e-Government system operation areas, lack of experts, high dependency on overseas countries and low system stability are obstacles. Also, the technical problems of operating e-Government system are low sustainability, low flexibility and low efficiency. 1.3 Establishment Plan for Cambodia e-Government Development Framework The RGC will establish Cambodia e-Government Development Framework to be suited for the current state of Cambodia e-Government by modifying the Korean e-Government Standard Framework, which is based on the Spring Framework. That is because the Spring Framework is recognized to be safe and stable by being applied to public information systems in many nations. 45
