Abstract
Japan has launched the e-Japan Strategy in early 2001, and has past almost for 13 years since the first priority policy program was announced by the IT Strategy Headquarters of Cabinet Secretariat. However, the progress is not outstanding, although the program has been frequently enhanced and revised to accelerate and boost the strategy. Among others, the e-Government policy is failed in the obvious enhancements of governmental services the people essentially anticipated. In this paper, I summarize the trails of e-Japan Strategy, particularly focused on the e-Government policy area. Then, I mention the three fundamental issues, evolution of business model, 5-layer Enterprise Architecture and shared object library, which are required to lead the e-Government policy to the successful direction.
