In Denmark a major eGovernment project is on its way. By January 2007 a structural reform of government will reorganize all counties and municipalities. More than 1 million employees will be affected, and all public IT systems will have to change. In 2003 a kind of pilot study for this upcoming structural reform including both eGovernment and organisational change was undertaken. Five municipalities and a county on the Island of Bornholm merged. In this paper I report from an in-depth interview study of the merging process. My analysis focuses on organizational change and the implications for eGovernment. I conclude by identifying three main hindrances. Finally the implications and learning for the upcoming structural reform is discussed.
