Before the pandemic, many public sectors in Sweden relied heavily on American cloud services. The pandemic's onset necessitated remote work, highlighting the need for secure and legally compliant communication systems. The dSam project (Digital Collaboration Platform for the Public Sector) evaluated the market for such solutions, completing its report in autumn 2022. The project's main purpose was to investigate, analyze, and present factors influencing the procurement of digital information systems within the public sector in Sweden, and to understand the interaction between people and technology. This understanding aims to optimize behaviors and attitudes for successful procurement. The empirical material includes semi-structured interviews with authorities and supplementary observations. The study identifies ten key factors affecting the procurement of digital information systems in the Swedish public sector and highlights a significant research gap in theories related to IT artifacts.
