Professionalization of Slovak Informatization | Medzinárodný kongres ITAPA 2017: Technology & HumanITy
The project of Slovak information society would benefit from evading two extremities. The first one is the threat of chaos, the other one are the symptoms of stupor. We can successfully progress and evade either the first or the second option only if we don’t lie to ourselves and work as professionals. Presentation names the risks that are permanently present in the demanding project of eGovernment development; many of them have come true in the past. It will also demonstrate on specific examples that negative risk impacts can be either eliminated or at least mitigated. -

Current challenges and risks in the process of informatization of Slovak society | Medzinárodný kongres ITAPA 2016: Make IT Easy
A year has passed since the last ITAPA Congress and information society in Slovakia has significantly changed. After hectic year 2015 came attenuation of development and launch of new projects. The government born after March elections set its priorities; leaders of information society in Slovakia still need to find their place in these priorities. The public discussion on information society has changed as well. Many professionals have entered the discussion; this has on one hand brought creative impulses and bigger transparency, and on the other hand it increased demand for undersized and underrun administrative capacities. The part of discussion understandable to media is usually critical hampering possible political support. The community willing to have information technologies as one of tools of society development is facing challenges that will include the change of how we look at electronic services, new definition of target groups and what is attractive for them, as well as reasonable level of innovation risks. -

How the IT industry and the education system in Slovakia can be mutually helpful | Medzinárodný kongres ITAPA 2015: No Borders
In his lecture, Emil Fitoš discusses the relationship between the education system in Slovakia and information technologies, as perceived in two different levels. Primarily he deals with the IT industry need for educated and qualified labour force. We assess the projects that have been performed in this field as well as those planned. If the Slovak Republic is to advance towards more competitive economy, it will not be possible without intensive implementation of information technologies in all segments of production and services. It is evident that the labour force with technical and IT education is the essential precondition of such transition. The second part of the lecture deals with what the IT industry offers to the education system in general. The lecturer specifically emphasises the verified methods and procedures, including engaging employers in the teaching process preparation. -
How do we see National Concept of eGovernment today | Medzinárodný kongres ITAPA 2014: Future is TODAY
National Concept of eGovernment sets the architecture of integrated information systems of public administration and was approved at the 97th meeting of the government of the Slovak Republic on May 21, 2008. Speakers will evaluate in the perspective of six years in what aspects is the document still relevant, which have been surpassed and which are still to be fullfilled.
They will deal with practical interpretation of the National Concept of eGovernment in preparation and implementation of ICT projects. Besides comments on the past they will bring forward several incentives to be considered in planning of ICT projects in next program period. -
