Abstract: The paper addresses the issue of ex-ante evaluation of e-government
projects. Many methodologies have been developed in the last 15 years in order
to support such evaluations, but we still know very little about the impact of
these evaluations on the success rate of e-government projects. The research
conducted on the Slovenian public administration and presented in this paper
fills in the gap between theoretical and empirical research in this area. Using
the methodology of partial least squares, a model of indicators was developed
and tested in the Slovenian e-government environment. It was proven that
ex-ante evaluation of e-government projects has an impact on the success of
these projects – 28% of the variance in success can be explained by
ex-ante evaluation.
