Preface

This document contains a proposal for incorporation of an exclusive organizational structure of Information Technologies, which will collaborate in the design of e-government in the local public administration, and with it. This is achieved in a gradual way; its evolution by stages of development. This task is not isolated; it is required that the federal, state, and local regulatory framework guarantees and collaborates with its implementation and effective follow up in such a way that it is an obligation of the municipal governments are obliged to contemplate this structure, as well as its intervention in the design and strategic decision making, projected in the long term, including others period governmentally.

This contribution is not the only alternative that collaborate with the evolution of the phases and dimensions of electronic government applied to local governments. Nevertheless, it collaborates directly with its design, application, monitoring, and its evolution.
