Abstract

From a developing countries perspective, little is known about the feasibility challenges of e-Government cloud migration. There is scant literature published in comparison to more developed nations. A review was undertaken to investigate what the e-Government feasibility challenges were in Nepal and several developing regions, including Africa, South and Central Asia, the Middle East and in the Caribbean. Challenges unique to e-Government cloud migration were identified, including the impact of poor ICT infrastructure, low digital literacy, and a lack of financial and internal resources as the most common. The study concludes with a call for further e-Government research relevant to developing nations and for further in-depth studies that can focus on minimizing the effects of the key challenges identified. This study has strong relevance for digital government policy, feasibility and migration framework specialists, and scholars in the fields of cloud migration and electronic government.
