Dialogic's Marijn Plomp spoke at two scientific conferences in Slovenia last week. In both cases, a peer-reviewed article formed the basis of the presentation.
The first contribution was a paper resulting from Dialogic's evaluation of the "Netherlands Goes Digital" (NGD) programme, an SME ICT stimulus scheme initiated by the former Ministry of Economic Affairs between 2002-2007. Marijn, along with former Dialogic member Ronald Batenburg and Dialogic partner Pim den Hertog, examined the extent to which ICT policy leads to increased usage of inter-organisational or cross-organisational ICT among SMEs. It appears that this is indeed the case, suggesting that the 'breadth' (reach of the scheme) may be more crucial than the 'depth' (extent of the stimulus).
The presentation was part of the 24th edition of the Bled eConference, which has been held annually at this beautiful natural location since the early days of the 'e-domain'.
Subsequently, Marijn presented at the 11th European Conference on E-Government (ECEG), hosted by the Faculty of Administration at the University of Ljubljana. The contribution was an article co-written with emeritus professor Jan Grijpink on the role of identity fraud in large-scale information provision. Through two cases from the criminal justice chain and healthcare sector, it was demonstrated that ID fraud is one of the major challenges in our society. The theory of Chain Informatisation can be utilised to formulate sustainable information strategies to tackle this issue.
Both articles were part of Marijn's doctoral research at Utrecht University. For more information on these contributions and/or the doctoral research, please contact Marijn (plomp@dialogic.nl).
