Abstract

Government organizations, when they become political and administrative entities, presuppose the inherent need to use and adapt various strategic tools that legitimize their actions. One of these tools, emanating from the New Public Management (NPM), is the incorporation of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) into government activities, which has been called Electronic Government (E-Government). In order to contribute to the knowledge and understanding of the use of ICTs in the Municipal Governments of Mexico, this document seeks as its main objective to know the status of Electronic Government in the 72 Municipalities of the State of Sonora, through the construction of the Municipal Electronic Government Index (IGEM) derived from the processing of information provided by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI), for the years 2009 and 2011. One of the main results obtained, refers to the little stability in the municipalities of the State of Sonora, regarding the possession and administration of the basic technological infrastructure (computers, telephone lines and Web pages), which allows to finally see what is harmful which turns out to be for the development of the Municipal Electronic Government, the lack of a normative support that guarantees the protection of the existing Municipal Technological Infrastructure, together with a process of political, administrative and financial institutionalization of the Electronic Government, absent in the municipalities of the State of Sonora.
