Information and communications technology breaks space and time barriers. One of the main reasons for e-government is the direct causal relationship for effective, efficient, and transparent public services, which in turn leads to good governance and effective control. Typically, organizational challenges stem from resistance to change, explained by human nature and habit and fear that work may become harder or current roles may change. Economic and legal challenges often owe to a country's stage of economic development, the general level of education of its population, extant regulatory frameworks, alternative technological scenarios, and the existence of private competitor services, to name a few.
