Abstract

The present article collects the most important results of an investigation carried out to obtain the Advanced Studies Diploma from Universidad de Salamanca. The article presents an overall progress of the implementation of the electronic administration model in the Capital District of Bogota, and how said progress is related to the District’s Document Management Program, in accordance with what was established in Law 594 of 2000. The obtained results are a valid indicator to reformulate public policy in this aspect, as well as to refocus processes to implement document management programs and projects in the District’s entities under the framework of electronic administration, known as Online Government (GEL, for its initials in Spanish), given the close link between the two. The article describes the relationship between the development of electronic administration projects in Bogota and the document management program implemented in different District entities, in order to establish the impact of the latter in the city’s electronic government strategies.
