Presenter Abstract Implementing e-government was never an easy task. Usually, it was needed more than expected, from the financial point of view, and more time and human resources for finalising the implementation of an e-government application. Nowadays, the financial crisis imposes also for governments and local authorities, a more cautious approach and if possible, even more care when spending pubic money. Thus, it becomes more challenging to identify a pattern for selecting the more viable e-applications, that would generate rapidly savings for the public or local budget, which would increase the efficiency that would allow more accurate public decisions etc. Our main objective in the paper is to highlight best practices and priorities in selecting e-government applications for implementation, and to analyse some examples from the Romanian case, when wrong-selected applications leaded to unsuccessfully e-government applications, like the case of local e-tax or e-vote.
