How Governments Use GovStack

Governments use GovStack’s offerings to design digital public services and infrastructure for its countries citizens and businesses. They are empowered to set national standards and collaborate with national and international service and software providers.

GovStack offerings are set to improve Government’s services and infrastructure to be sovereign, sustainable, citizen-centric and interoperable. Visite our mission page to read more about our guiding principles.

In the following, the value of GovStack’s offerings is displayed using the phases:
1. Prepare and plan
2. Design and test
3. Procure, build and operate
In practice, these phases are not sequential but iterative.

Phase 1: Prepare and Plan

Watch a short video (5 minutes) introduction into the overall concept of GovStack.

Access our demo environment to explore example public services and building block implementations.

Start following our implementation methodology to properly setup and execute your project.

Join our trainings to build capacity and connect with other like-minded learners.

Phase 2: Design and Test

Use our technical specifications to design a modular, scalable and federated eGovernment system. Re-use and extend the specification to your needs: Design the system architecture, scope and describe the software components (Building Blocks), formulate national interoperability standards and align government-wide user experience.

Follow the service design and testing practices to build citizen-centric service while following organisational, regulatory and domain-specific boundaries.

Get more specific guidance on aspects of architecture, Building Block and methodology with our Implementation Guides.

Phase 3: Procure, Build and Operate

Browse through our marketplace to identify possible software and service provider for procurements
(note: there is no obligation to use the listed software and services. You are free to use GovStack offerings with your local IT industry).

Follow our methodological recommendation to procure, build and operate public services, building blocks and its infrastructure.
