Government plays an important role as a major user and owner of public information and can stimulate IT use to improve public services.
This document summarizes key concepts from Chapter 3 of a management information systems textbook. It discusses how organizations use information systems, the changing role of IS in organizations, how managers make decisions and how IS can support them, and how IS relates to business strategy. Specific topics covered include the relationship between organizations and IS, how IS impact organizations and vice versa, managerial roles and decision making, and frameworks for analyzing competitive strategy and the value chain.
Information Management System for Higher Educational InstitutionsIJMREMJournal
Mobile technology has introduced a new environment among upcoming generations that can be used to improve
the management process. The proposed system will improve interactivity, accessibility, and convenience in the
college management process. It is a simple yet powerful integrated platform that connects the various entities. It
is a handy application that can be used by the students and the administrator to facilitate communication. The
main motive of the project is to provide full automation to the user. This IMS system can also be used in
academic institutes. This will help the institution to utilize its resources in an efficient manner. This system is
capable of greatly atomizing work. Since human memory cannot store too much data and is volatile there are
chances for errors but with the help of a system that can store huge amount of data systematically. IMS system
is capable of integrating different sections in an institution like general, fees, attendance, library, exam section.

A Collaborative Framework for Managing Run-Time Changes in Enterprise Web Ser...dannyijwest
This document presents a framework for managing run-time changes in enterprise web services. The framework uses a finite state machine approach to evaluate changes made to business logic at runtime. It aims to handle critical and emergency changes that arise during runtime more effectively than standard changes. The framework incorporates runtime changes to business logic more easily and evaluates changes made to service business logic in terms of business workflows and change requirements. It proposes a working model that identifies dependencies between business functions, rules, and parameters to determine the impact of a requested change. If a change request is generated dynamically, the model first verifies that the change can be implemented by checking for complete and finite changes. It then automatically generates an updated business logic schema reflecting the change to guide implementation without
A Collaborative Framework for Managing Run-Time Changes in Enterprise Web Ser...dannyijwest
In a business atmosphere changes are ever occurring incidents which are supported by Information Technologies and there should be proper management techniques to handle these changes effectively. Also business processes must be aligned to IT to ensure the proper functionality of their services even after changes are propagated. Services might be moved, or relocated and may undergo changes during their life cycle. Hence there should be an effective framework for managing these changes without affecting the business functionality. This work stresses mainly on handling these dynamic changes to a business entity as it should support at business logic level and a new architecture model is proposed based on finite state machine theory of automata. It aligns IT with the business entity by automatically adapting the corresponding execution environment in case a change in the business process occurs.
The document discusses how a service catalog can connect the IT front office to the back office through an integrated service catalog management and request fulfillment process. This connection allows the service catalog to not only hide complex back office technologies and processes from users, but also help minimize or eliminate those complexities. With automation powered by these solutions, user experience is improved through streamlined request handling. It also enhances back office execution by making intelligent decisions and automating traditionally manual processes, improving consistency, quality and lowering costs.

Developing The Project Communication Plan
A project communication plan is used to facilitate effective and efficient communication with the various stakeholders during its implementation. An effective communication plan includes certain key elements such as communication objectives, important content for the dissemination, target audiences and the methods to be used as well as the frequency. A good two-way channel of communications is crucial for the success of the implementation of an ERP system or any other system in general. Good communication can be used to inform all key stakeholders on the progress of the project as well as reveal omissions and misallocation of resources early enough to allow for rectification and revision.
For this case, a communication plan will be used to keep all the stakeholders and managers informed and updated on all the happenings and progress of the ERP system implementation process. There are several forms of communication that will be used to communicate to all users on how their jobs will change, how they will be trained to use the new system and many more activities such as key milestones achieved and the overall implementation progress. The first form of communication will be through status reports, and these reports will constitute of content such as expected risks that could affect the system and what deliverables will be aligned with risk mitigation and contingencies put in place in case of the risk materializes. These reports will be sent electronically to key stakeholders such as the company's CEO, CFO, and IT director on a weekly basis.
The second form of communication will via newsletters and emails, and these channels will work well for disseminating announcements since the company has a broad target audience which is geographically distributed in different locations. This technique will be used to provide information relevant to the project progress as well as information about the ongoing and upcoming activities throughout the ERP implementation process. These emails and newsletters will be sent on a weekly basis to the IT director, the systems administrator, sales and advertising director as well as the web developer.
The final form of communication will be through meetings where stakeholders who include the IT director, the systems administrator and their teams will be briefed weekly on the progress of the implementation process through face-to-face meetings. On the other hand, the executive will receive the overall updates on a monthly basis which will start with a visua ...
A SERVICE ORIENTED DESIGN APPROACH FOR E-GOVERNANCE SYSTEMSijitcs
The document describes a service-oriented design approach for e-governance systems. It discusses key challenges in developing e-governance systems and proposes addressing these challenges through a service-oriented paradigm. The approach defines concepts like service types (readily available, composable, collaborative), service windows, service composition, and service collaboration. Service types depend on the complexity of processing required - readily available services require minimal processing, composable services may invoke other related services, and collaborative services require coordination across service windows. The approach aims to provide reusable, interoperable services and facilitate integration of existing applications in e-governance systems.

Business process monitoring system in supporting information technology gover...journalBEEI
Information technology (IT) is essential in supporting an organization's business sustainability and growth, making it critically dependent on IT. Therefore, a focus on IT governance, consisting of leadership, organizational structure, and process ensuring that IT organization supports and expands the organizational strategies and goals is required. When the business supports the strategic significance of IT investment, the implementation of an IT strategy will lead to the adoption of an IT governance model. It will support and help the description of the benefit roles and responsibilities from IT systems and infrastructure. This paper aims to develop a business process monitoring system to support IT governance in improving user service and measuring organizational performance. The research method was the system development method with the Waterfall model. To measure the performance of the business process, the self-assessment method with performance matrix tools was applied. The study resulted in a business process monitoring system that can enhance the organization’s primary business process in services, supporting the said organization’s performance.
e-governance and District Administration in Bangladesh: An Overview of Recent...Ahasan Uddin Bhuiyan
This document provides an overview of e-governance initiatives in Bangladesh, specifically focusing on changes to service delivery at the district administration level using Cox's Bazar Zila Parishad as a case study. It discusses the introduction and growth of e-governance in Bangladesh over time, from early infrastructure projects in the late 1990s to a growing focus on citizen-centric services in recent years. Key drivers of this transition included the 2002 ICT policy, projects by the Access to Information program from 2006-2009, and growing political will under the current government's vision of a "Digital Bangladesh".
This document proposes an e-governance model for Bangladesh and discusses its implementation. It begins by outlining the motivation and methodology, then reviews e-governance opportunities in Bangladesh. A 3-dimensional enterprise model is proposed, along with an architecture framework and implementation plan. A prototype application for tax identification number registration is demonstrated. The document concludes by discussing conclusions and opportunities for future work, such as m-governance readiness assessment.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

ABSTRACT:
This paper aims to support the concept of workflow and the transition to e-government through
a new technology by applied Arabdox for workflow system and design models electronic transfer
operations from station to another (from one user to another) according to a high-security controls for
users. Our case study is vacation request which various kinds in the National Pensions Fund (NPF)
and use monitors and reports showing the path of the flow process and follow-up workflow .This process
focuses in controlling the requests of vacations of the organization, from the initial request up to its
approval or rejection.

INTRODUCTION
The general idea of the project is the computerization of manual procedures within state institutions
using computer techniques, tools and equipment eligible for such a workflow management systems which
allow organizations to define and control the various activities associated with a business process and used to
describe the actions of electronic automation functions transactions and internal models for any organization
that facilitates the flow of transactions by hierarchical and approval as well as used workflow systems
procedures any transaction fully or partially dependent on passing from one station to another for approval or to
take the necessary action, the process of vacations request starts when any employee of the organization
submits a vacation request, once the requirement is registered, the request is received by the immediate
supervisor of the employee requesting the vacation, the supervisor must approve or reject the request, if the
request is rejected the application is returned to the applicant/employee who can review the rejection reasons. If
the request is approved a notification is generated to the Human Resources Representative, who must complete
the respective management procedures each according to its validity and engines functioning work helps users
to interact on documents and manage project tasks and building custom business handler on a document or item
level, workflow engine helps organizations restriction firm steps to address their business and therefore helps to
improve productivity and work efficiency [13] [16]Workflow is concerned with the automation of procedures
where documents, information or tasks are passed between participants according to a defined set of rules to
achieve, or contribute to, an overall business goal [8] [9].
Workflow may be manually organized, in practice most workflow is normally organized within the
context of an IT system to provide computerized support for the procedural automation and it is to this area that
the work of the Coalition is directed. Generally determined to work in any company or institution set of
incremental steps undertaken by a group of employees, and the Workflow Management System automate this
process where information is transmitted, tasks and documents from one person to another within a set of
procedures and specific steps in advance and can simplify the idea of the system incoming alert officer given via
e-mail that asking him to task performance, and move this task to the next person when completed, and the
process will continue until you reach this task to the last point in a series of specific actions in advance, And one
of the most important steps for the successful development and automate the functions of any origin lies in the
documentation and characterization of their own actions. The procedures for the transition to e-government or
an environment that is free of paperwork requires careful definition and characterization of all the activities and
operations of the facility, internally and externally to provide its services to the beneficiaries of the individuals
or institutions. Workflow management Systems provides support for the definition and control of the various
activities (tasks) combined in business processes,

making workflow used in the provision of structuring applications in one form or term tasks and also in
temporary information between tasks and applications work or only workflow implemented intraday by
procedures workflow conformity [8] [9] [10]. The objective of support for business processes is to reduce the
cost and reduce the time flow and to improve the productivity and quality of service, however, reduce the
procedures workflow in reality is a manual process is complex and subject to a percentage of errors and this
leads to problems in systems deployed in enterprises, it is important to the ability to distinguish accuracy
measures the workflow before adopting [4].
Outfits governments around the world to establish a so-called e-government or digital government, in
every region of the world from developing countries to industrialized countries, put national governments and
localities with critical information on-line, and using the mechanism to streamline operations, which were
complicated in the past. And diffuse definition of e-government or is the use of digital information and
communication technology to support the effectiveness of government services and dealing with citizens in a
way that better and easier, and to allow access to the greatest amount of information, and make government
itself more responsive to the wishes of the citizens. May include providing e-government services via the
Internet and the Web, telephone, community centers, wireless gadgets or other communication systems
available. However, we should note that the e-government is not a substitute or stands for economic
development and the provision of budget and efficient government, as it is not a single event may be changed
immediately and forever the current government situation. E-government is a process, or we can say, it is
developing or often conflict presenting the costs and financial and political risks, that the success of egovernment requires a change in how the work and performance of the government, how they interact with
information, how he sees the officials their jobs and interact with an audience of citizens? It also requires
achieving e-government active participation between government and citizens and the private sector and the
civil sector. And e-government needs to enter and feed continuously to and from the citizens and officials who
deal with e-government services and use. E-government can contribute significantly to the process of
transformation of the government towards a leaner, more cost effective government. It can facilitate
communication and improve the coordination of authorities at different tiers of government, within
organizations and even at the departmental level. Further, e-government can enhance the speed and efficiency of
operations, by streamlining processes, lowering costs, improving research capabilities, and improving
documentation and record-keeping. However, the real benefit of e-government lies not in the use of technology
per se, but in its application to processes of transformation [7] [11] [12] [15].

10. Improved Security & Reliability: Workflow management “provides secure storage and access to a
consistent set of all of the data related to a service [8] [11].
Business process reengineering (BPR) began as a private sector technique to help organizations
fundamentally rethink how they do their work in order to dramatically improve customer service, cut
operational costs, and become world-class competitors [2][4]. Reengineering is the fundamental rethinking and
radical redesign of business processes to achieve dramatic improvements in critical, contemporary measures of
performance, such as cost, quality, service and speed [3]. Business Process Reengineering presented as a way or
a new way to meet the challenges of improving the quality of the business while reducing the cost, computing
systems group considered as a means of re-engineering actions and because it aims to improve the efficiency of
a group of people who cooperate in a set of actions. Especially those workflow management systems seem to
offer the best support for process re-engineering [1] [6].

Improved production: This is done by reducing the models and the presence of models and standard
documents and reduce the burden of treatment and implementation of the work in addition to avoid delays
which could finally getting through budget burdens distributed to employees in the organization.
Better services: the existence of the transition within the cycle of hard work in the sense to walk in the paths
steady work and take appropriate training to the nature of the new work you ensure better service in the
organization. So using workflow management system service will be provided faster, more accurate, and
easier implementation. In the end, the Foundation will provide a high quality service to their employees and
customers.
Improving employee performance: to adopt workflow management system central like Arabdox system,
every employee in the organization focuses on the tasks assigned to him only and thus become more
productive. So there are no discomforts from other employees and there is no any error as long as the
employee performs the tasks assigned to it properly and finally, the employee will feel comfortable in the
execution of its duties.
To improve communication: communication between staff and tasks, including transmission will become
quickly and automatically using workflow management system. In this way, the information transmitted to
the right place and as soon as and with less effort.
Making the right decision at the right time: Using Workflow Management System is able to manage the
institution monitor the status of the working sessions at any moment, find choke points and to improve
work performance redirect resources optimally and avoid delays and not reduce the rate of production in
addition to balancing the burden distributed staff, so that some tasks are routed to another employee in the
same class of the hierarchy based on a comparison the volume of work assigned to them. Always remember
that the decision-making easier when you know exactly what happens in detail and in the time that you
want.
Standard models to the requests of employees: work flow management system uses standard forms to staff
requests the employee can simply fill the demand with appropriate information and motivate to be
appropriate action. After that will be informed of the outcome of his application. Therefore, the system is
easy on the staff application procedures such as: vacation, complaints, and apologies.
Conceptual framework
Arabdox System for the workflow helps of institutions to automate many functions and business
processes for the transfer of the right information electronically to the right people at the right time and with the
assistance Arabdox to business flow is notified users the work is not over yet, as able managers of the transfer
approval through system quickly and management benefits of the tasks of work in an automated fashion to
facilitate the task efficiency and increase quality and reduce costs. The operations designed one of the most
important components of the Arabdox work course. It is through this element that the institution can you design
a form of work on the unit and definition stages and select a user each stage on the basis of his job. Each process
is designed in the form of a map serve as a graphic representation shows how the process flow from one stage to
another and the steps that take place within each stage. Arabdox implementing a course of action by dividing it
into easy stages and determine the rules for the implementation of each stage. Stages are linked to each other
through "links" that make it easier for the user to define the process in the form of a flowchart, which is called
the "process map".
Applied framework
In this case, we will show you a simple workflow process where the initiator applies avocation request
to the Direct Manager, then the Unit Manager and finally to the Administrative Affairs see fig (1).

5. The Role Of Processes Re-Engineering…
The initiator starts by applying the request. The task status is Active. Then, he/she progresses the
request to his/her Direct Manager. The status becomes removed at the initiator user step and Active at the Direct
Manager user step as shown below in fig (2).
Fig (2): The task status is Active in Initiator.
Following are the possibilities that may occur on this workflow process the request is approved by all
the recipients. The task is progressed by the Direct Manager to the Unit Manager. The status becomes removed
at the Direct Manager user step and Active at the Unit Manager's see fig (3).
Fig (3) the process is active in Direct Manager.
Then the Unit Manager progresses the request to the Administrative Affairs ، the status becomes
removed at the Unit Manager User step and Active at the Administrative Affairs' see fig (4).
Fig (4) the process is removed at the Initiator and Unit Manager.
Then the Unit Manager progresses the request to the Administrative Affairs. The status becomes
removed at the Unit Manager User step and Active at the Administrative Affairs' see fig (5).
Fig (5) the status becomes removed at the Unit Manager and Active at the Administrative Affairs'.
The Direct Manager may return the request to the initiator for any errors in the request. The status
becomes returned at the Direct Manager user Step and Active at the initiators see fig (6).

6. The Role Of Processes Re-Engineering…
Fig (6) The Direct Manager may return the request or send to another user.
The Direct Manager may reject the task for any reason. The status becomes aborted at the Direct Manager user
step see Fig (7).

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Through this research was to reach the following conclusions: the purpose of the re-engineering of
business processes and work flow and the trend towards e-government to achieve the following:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
11.
12.
13.
Simplification of procedures: determining the course of operations and cancel all unnecessary steps.
Speed accomplishes tasks.
Define the powers and roles based on the structure of the institution.
Raise the work efficiency: there would be monitoring for personnel operations, each according to their
jurisdiction and their achievement of the tasks assigned to them.
Improve performance at work: the ratio of as few mistakes as possible because the deal is through the
electronic models and clear.
The division of labour on the staff equally.
The concept of TQM in the organization: develop clear strategies and vision for the future of the institution
and achieve the desired goals.
Earn the satisfaction of users and customers: the continuous improvement and service in a short time and
service when requested by the user.
Control and monitoring processes: in the case of the failure of the employee of the action required of him in
the time limit for the process transformed the process automatically to the Director-top, leading to
accounting officer.
Spreading the concept and importance of modern technology among employees: be dealing through
computers and electronic models and train them to do so.
Speed of decision-making in the organization: the provision of information through the screens reports and
clear.
Speed shift towards e-government project which seeks the state in its implementation: Convert all manual
systems to computerized systems and minimize handling paperwork and dealing through electronic forms.
Save files and documents electronically archived automatically for long-term periods.
VI.
RECOMMENDATIONS
In order to achieve the concepts of this paper (the role of process re-engineering and work flow in the
transformation of e-government) must do the following:
1.
2.
3.
Re-engineering procedures in government institutions.
Support from senior management and decision-making support for.
Determine the organizational structure of the institution and to be based on the powers and roles of each
institution's staff.
