Digital technologies may provide various benefits, as well as interoperability risk and adaptability issues. Human knowledge multiplication accelerated dynamics may lead us to the advanced technologies identification and utilization of various opportunities, as well as technological advancement. In order to harmonize such a technological growth and human development opportunities we aim for systematic approach and interoperability development. When considering the public administration digital transformation, holistic approach challenges may become advantages, due to the acknowledgement and education, so processes of adjustment may bring the identification and solution for many challenges, but also provide a platform for further learning and development.

Excerpt from the Book
2 Public administration digital transformation and institutional interoperability – I3O concept
When considering the public administration digital transformation, we need to consider interoperability points as the critical ones for the system. In addition, interoperability impact has to be taken into account, as a kind of organization communication readiness measure, a kind of critical value for any digital transformation solution.
Interoperability is generally described as a continuous potential for receiving and sending data between two or more interconnected units, with a secure level of communication quality and negative impacts excluded from the receiving and sending network. (ISO - Information Technology Vocabulary, 2019)
Organizations are systematically changed, with goals and expectations, within plans, strategies, projects, and it should be kept in mind that every change phase, introducing technological or other solutions, is at the rate at which people can accept it, or through the stages of their adaptation. (Fabac 2017)
Digital business transformation is defined as the process of exploiting digital technologies and supporting capabilities to create a dependable new digital business model. (Gartner, 2019)
The interoperability importance growth, its impact onto public administration digital transformation, is recognized across EU institutions by incorporating them into strategies, the organization and the whole society development. (EU Semester 2018)
Higher levels of interoperability achievement contribute to public administration reform, better cross-sector harmonization, synergy, multiple action reduction, and overlapping through the expanded support framework for interoperability:
• E-Management,
• Public Administration Reforms and
• Governance. (Šimić, 2011)
Interoperability is described as the different systems functionality that enables their common work and the organizations ability for information exchange and business processes using common standards and practices. (IEEEE, 2010)
Interoperability is also described as the ability of different organizations for mutual communication to mutually beneficial and agreed common goals, including the exchange of information and knowledge between organizations, through business processes that support it, data exchange between their IT systems. (IMAPS, 2018)
Considering the most suitable solution for digitally transformed environment and its implementation into organization, organization leaders are aiming for the holistic approach. (Spremić, 2017)
