Secure and Effective Government IT systems in 3rd World Country

The implementation of Information Communication and Technology (ICT) in the government of Timor-Leste was at a cross-road. The ICT planners implemented a variety of ICT systems across the country based on many different frameworks that have been adopted during the first decade of development. The government of Timor-Leste needs to collectively improve the ICT systems in order to be more secure and cost-effective. The proposed modern framework will help the government institutions to implement ICT with a high Return of Investment (ROI). The designed modern framework provides a flowchart and hypothesis questions as either a basis for the evaluation and validation of the existing Information and Technology (IT) system or the construction of a new IT system that is secure, in line with business requirements, open standard, cross-platform, meets regulations, has social capabilities, workflow, and a high ROI.
