Abstract: The development and deployment of e-government service portals combines two of the most active, promising and upcoming research fields; providing governmental services to citizens with the use of modern technologies and achieving interoperability which will result in the seamless cooperation of existing heterogeneous systems. The final outcome of such attempts should be fully functional and expandable information systems undertaking the task of offering governmental services to the wider public. Those systems should be user-friendly to both the end users (the citizens and the business) and public servants and should be regarded as virtual holistic systems, where 'black boxes' take care of the whole process of implementation and the interconnection with various existing systems being used by public administrations. This paper, presents a complete methodological approach for deploying and operating such systems, as piloted in two Greek municipalities with over 50,000 citizens and 3,000 businesses in each.
