Abstract
The economic crisis was a catalyst in the evolution of the cloud computing and the rationalization of the IT systems that offer e-Government services. The reusability of software and services is a mandatory requirement in the new systems that are being designed and developed. Despite of the differences in use cases that different domains such as e-Health, e-Procurement, e-Business, e-Justice, e-Learning utilize, the core services that are necessary can be summarized in eID, e-signature, e-delivery, e-documents and semantics under a secure and trusted environment. This paper aims to present the main actions in the European Union such as the Connecting Europe Facility program, the principles of the next program after the Interoperable Solutions for Public Administration and large scale pilots such as STORK2 and E-SENS. The sustainability of all these solutions is a challenging issue that should be tackled.
