Abstract

Along with e-government transformations, broadband access needs of public
institutions gradually increases. In order to meet this increasing broadband access
needs efficiently and under central control gains more importance. From this
perspective, Turkish Government added this issue into its e-government action
plan. This paper firstly provides a basic conceptual system design model
according to the requirements of RIS-107 numbered e-government project of
Turkish Government whose name is Aggregated Public Broadband Procurement
of Turkish Government Institutions. Additionally to these requirements, some
specialties like operating optimized, autonomous and real-time, which a modern
supply chain management system can realize, are added into the new design to
solve the some of the project problems declared by Turkish Ministry of
Transport.Then, some similar projects and articles which can be beneficial for the
solution are examined. Based on the conceptual model design and implications,
future research questions are determined to lead the future studies for aggregated
public broadband procurement and some advices are presented according to
referenced materials.
