Abstract

Purpose: The paper points out a novel approach to e-Government back-office reengineering based on creating a Shared-Services Center at the sectorial level.Design/Methodology/Approach: To prove the Shared-Services Center as a proper solution for e-Government back-office reengineering, the au-thors used the case study of the Housing Facilities Sector in the Repub-lic of North Macedonia. The research process follows Kettingers et al.’s framework of IT-enabled change with a holistic data-driven approach.Findings: The study indicates a complex information flow between stake-holders, an abundance of the same information and data collected from local stakeholders, and enormous citizen and institutional burden. The e-Government back-office reengineering solution for the specific case study based on creating a Shared-Services Center overcomes the lem of data redundancy, radically simplifies the information flow, and re-duces citizen burden in line with the “Once-Only” principle.Practical Implications: The paper shows that by observing the network of all relevant stakeholders at the sectorial level, based on the informa-tion flow of core data, back-office problems can be identified, whereby the Shared-Services Center proves itself as a suitable solution. It may be a prerequisite for further studies on back-office process reengineering at the sectorial level.Originality/Value: Publications concerning back-office research at the sectorial level and, as in our case, within the House Facility Sector are almost non existing in scientific literature. Considering that there is a lack of analyses based on information flow and visualization of the informa-tion-flow network at the sectorial level (before and after the reforms), this paper will add original value to scientific literature.
