Experts claim that the next decades will mark the fourth industrial revolution that will be driven by artificial intelligence and digital transformation.

With the advent of ICT (Information and Communication Technologies), the sectors of activity at all levels are undergoing a radical transformation marked by a sharp improvement in their efficiency. The concept of digital transformation is at the heart of business sectors in both developed and developing countries.

With the technological development of our societies, the integration and development of digital transformation is an irreversible process. Thus the digital transformation is no longer an option but a necessity for a sector of activities concerned with good governance.

Digital transformation initiatives are proliferating around the world, as there are so many benefits. To accelerate the advent of true digital societies, businesses, non-governmental organizations, academia, civil society, aware of the issues, are blocking the government in many countries to make their contributions.

As in many other areas, there are major differences between digital transformation integration and development processes in both developed and developing countries. While almost all of the former have reached the maturity phase of e-government, the vast majority are in an embryonic phase. This delay can be explained by the lack of funding, the absence or insufficiency of adequate infrastructures and information and communication technologies, especially the internet, especially in rural areas, digital illiteracy, resistance to change, lack of a legal framework for electronic activities, etc. To this must be added the lack of public awareness of the importance of integrating the culture of digital services and the digital economy for the development of their countries.

Although having reached the stage of maturity, the process of development of e-government in developed countries also faces obstacles and challenges to be met, especially those of computer insecurity and adaptation to rapid changes in technology. information and communication.

The scope of e-government is broad and includes many sectors of activity: agriculture, health, trade, diplomacy, public procurement, education, etc.
