Digital transformation in local government requires civil servants to possess adequate digital readiness to support the Electronic-Based Government System (SPBE). This study analyzes civil servants' digital readiness, its influencing factors, and SPBE implementation at BAPPERIDA of North Nias Regency. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed with leaders and civil servants selected purposively. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, and analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, supported by source and technique triangulation. The findings show that civil servants are moderately ready but have not reached an optimal level. They can use office applications and government systems such as SIPD, SRIKANDI, and e-Kinerja, while gaps remain in digital literacy, information security awareness, adaptation to new technology, internet connectivity, and system integration. Readiness is shaped by individual competence, leadership support, information technology infrastructure, organizational culture, training, and supportive policies. Continuous digital training, stronger infrastructure, system integration, and a digital work culture are therefore required to improve SPBE effectiveness.
