The prioritization factors of Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) adoption in Malaysian e-Government

This paper examines the factors that influence Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) adoption in Malaysian government. This research focuses on one of the Malaysian e-Government project which has been selected as the case study for this research. The case study analysis is to investigate the prioritization of EAI factors by using Miles & Huberman [1] scale and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique. The study of these factors is based on EAI adoption model in LGA that proposed by Kamal et al. [2]. The results are comprised through a series of tables which illustrated the prioritization for each factors. Therefore, this research outcome provides a guideline for Malaysian public sector for EAI adoption in e-Government project.
