What is the eGovERA© Upscale?
eGovERA© Upscale is a set of quality assurance tools developed as part of the eGovERA© environment, specifically eGovERA© Upscale Solution Components, which supports Member States in prioritising and implementing their digital business capabilities.
The eGovERA© portal enables access to all the eGovERA© Upscale Solution Components. The latest version of the eGovERA© portal is the v2.0.0.
Together with the EIRA©, the eGovERA© is a key element within the Interoperability Architecture portfolio to support the interoperability of Digital Public Services across the European Union.
eGovERA© stands for eGovernment European Reference Architecture. It is a set of specifications (i.e., eGovERA© Foundation) and tools (e.g., eGovERA© Upscale) directly based on the EIRA©, which aim to help Public Administrations across Europe with additional and more granular reference architectures and tools to analyse and design Digital Public Services. With eGovERA©, Public Administrations have the guidance they need to create seamless, integrated services in line with EU-wide interoperability standards.
The main purpose of the eGovERA© is to provide a structured approach that helps European Public Administrations ensure that their Digital Services are interoperable, meaning they can easily exchange data across borders and sectors. To this end, eGovERA© Upscale Solution Components facilitate decision-making support and optimise the management of ICT portfolios.

The eGovERA© Upscale Solution Components
1. eGovERA© eGovernment Digital Business Capabilities Assessment
This self-assessment survey supports Member States through a guided survey designed to prioritize Digital Business Capabilities (DBCs) for specific policy domains. The survey helps decision-makers evaluate each DBC based on several parameters, including:
- National Digital Strategic Fit: How well the capability aligns with the national digital strategy.
- Ability to Support the digital Business Capability: The capability’s potential to support overall digital business capacity.
- Expected Public Value: The anticipated public benefit from implementing the capability.
- Estimated Budget: The projected cost, measured in millions of euros.
2. eGovERA© eGovernment Portfolio Management Decision Support
Once the survey is completed, the results are visualised using the eGovernment Portfolio Management Decision Support tool. This tool allows Member States to further prioritise their selected DBCs by adjusting key variables, such as:
- National Digital Strategic Fit.
- Expected Public Value.
- Ability to Support dBusCap.
By providing a visual representation of the survey data, this tool helps decision-makers better understand how to allocate resources across different policy domains.
3. eGovERA© Digital Transformation Roadmap Support
This Upscale Solution Component helps Member States create a clear, step-by-step roadmap for implementing their prioritized DBCs.
The roadmap outlines key actions, milestones, and timelines to guide the digital transformation journey, ensuring that Member States can efficiently implement their eGovernment initiatives.
