Problems
The project has faced the objective obstacles; the pilots requirements occurred to differ strongly form each other. It caused platform definition problematic. Lack of platform definition has slowed down requirements gathering process since asked Pilot representatives were not aware of platform possibilities and its available functionalities.
 
The other problem was related to Polish law. Some legal acts make IT solutions impossible to implement since paper based document exchange is obligatory that makes IT implementation useless.
 
The awareness of IT technologies in rural areas is still low, also the internet penetration is still low. The side effect of iCOIN was a raise of IT awareness in Klembow municipality.
