Enabling Environment for Software Engineering Industry: A Strategic Framework of eSEE eAgenda 2002 and eSEE eAgenda+ 2007

摘要

Modern technologies have the tremendous capacity to unleash the potential of the South Eastern Europe (SEE) countries, and to help increase their economic growth and foster their integration in world market. This paper is set forth to analyze the policy impact of "eSEE Agenda for the Development of the Information Society" (eSEE Agenda), as a regional action plan for Information Society development in SEE region implemented from 2002 to 2007, including the policy impact to development of national software engineering industries. As several reviews and reports from recent South Eastern Europe Ministerial Conference on Information Society Development (Sarajevo, October 2007) indicate, the initial Agenda's aims have in good measure been attained. Development of an enabling framework is largely complete, new ICT infrastructure is being introduced in government departments and public institutions, a very wide range of e-services for the public and business are either already operational or close to becoming so. Recognition of this fact by the members of the Initiative has led to an extension of the initiative, with the agreement of a second phase, "eSEE Agenda Plus for the Development of Information Society in South Eastern Europe 2007-2012", signed in Sarajevo on 29 October 2007 at the South Eastern Europe Ministerial Conference on Information Society Development.
