Use of e-government in Poland in comparison to other European Union member states

Adopting new technologies into the practice of national government can significantly improve the quality of public services and the government’s general performance. In this paper we present the results of our research on Poland’s performance of e-government in comparison to EU15 and NMS12. The analysis is based on data provided by Eurostat’s Information Society’s comprehensive database. We find that Poland, on average, is lagging behind other European countries from both SMEs perspective and especially from citizens perspective in implementing effective technologies in public sector. In this paper we deliver some recommendations for the polish government.
