Provide the reader of your report with a thorough understanding of the topic, current practices, competing technologies, management models, problems/issues raised by others, etc.
An analysis of the topic that draws on the material from class and from your reading. Your analysis should include as a minimum (necessary to receive a score of 85%) the following elements (alternative elements may be used with consent of the instructor):
An examination of implementation issues related to your topic
Additional elements germane to your topic. NOTE: To achieve a grade greater than 85%, papers must provide meaningful analysis beyond the basic requirements (a-e).
A conclusion section where you will provide a recommendation regarding the issue. Your recommendation must be supported by the material you found in your state of the art assessment and knowledge gained in the class.
Thesis Statement for the paper. This is a single sentence that succinctly states what your paper will do or examine. This is not a laundry list of topics.
The final paper should be between 20 and 30 pages, double-spaced, and using 12pt Times Roman or Courier font. Use the APA guidelines for sections and citations.

One party is the private sector. During the early days, models for implementing e-Government were unfeasible, and so the government partnered with the private sector to implement them. Well-established information technology companies partnered with the US government to implement e-Government. At the time, many giant technological companies were in the US. Therefore, existing electronic document management practices applied by the companies were modified to fit the needs of e-Government. Technologies companies like Microsoft, Oracle, IBM, and Google worked with the government to meet the technological demands. Leading universities like Harvard, Caltech, Chicago, and the University of Illinois offered technical assistance to the public administration on the development of e-Government. Outsourcing of services further decentralized public administration as more people got a say in how the government operates.
