Abstract

Building on the belief that a positive correlation between the desired level of e-government capability and maturity and the required level of architectural maturity exists, the eGovernment Authority (eGA) of the kingdom of Bahrain embarked on a three-year eGovernment program aimed at improving service delivery to citizens through seamless integration and connected governance. In order to achieve this objective, eGA realized the need for a Kingdom-wide strategy and holistic guiding plans, and hence decided to design and develop a National Enterprise Architecture Framework (NEAF). NEAF is an aggregation of models and meta-models, governance, compliance mechanisms, technology standards, and guidelines put together to guide effective development and implementation of an Enterprise Architecture by different government entities across the Kingdom. This chapter will describe a NEAF development project success story, its objectives, and its importance to Bahrain’s economic vision 2030. It describes the NEAF development lifecycle and highlights the findings and challenges faced at each stage of the project.
