Abstract

In the modern post-industrial society, information is gaining more and more importance and the properties of a strategic resource, becoming a decisive factor in modern political and economic development. Today, the information product is the basis of increasing the production of material goods and one of the determining factors of the democratic transformation of management. The informational role in the preparation and adoption of highly effective decisions makes high demands on its quality in the process of forming the information technology system in public administration. Over the past two decades, information and communication technologies (ICT) have contributed to a dramatic transformation of society, culture, and the economy. The world has witnessed changes brought about by the rapid advancement of technologies in the ICT ecosystem such as social media, big data and the Internet. Mobile technology and broadband access are already widespread in developed countries and are now expanding rapidly in developing and emerging markets. Social media has significantly affected the way people interact with each other and with their governments. Open government data and cloud computing combined with increased mobile consumption have further enriched economic systems. The article reveals the place and role of information and communication technologies in the conditions of transformation of state administration and the business community. The role of information and communication technologies as an authoritative and significant factor at the state level is explained. It has been confirmed theoretically and from a practical point of view that information and communication networks and systems are an independent environment in which the latest business processes and economic principles on the issues of effective state management, affecting all sections of society, are generated. For the successful implementation of projects and their management in the field of electronic government, it is very important to understand that information technologies act only as a tool for the transformation of administrative processes and structures and cannot by themselves solve the problems facing state structures.
