Also keen to share inter-agency information through the cloud is the Information and Communication Technology Centre, Ministry of Science and Technology. Bui Dac Phuc, Deputy Director of the agency said that they already have a 1-year project with a budget of US$2 million approved.
To fulfil this plan, the ministry is making preparations to develop a large, core integrated information system that can serve taxation, customs, budget, treasury, securities, and many other operations.
When fully implemented, the National Authentication Framework (NAF) will enable users to access government services using a single electronic identity, bringing ease and convenience to citizen transactions with the government.
MIC Authority of IT Application Director General, Dr. Nguyen Thanh Phuc said in an official statement, “Technology plays a key role for Vietnam to become a strong nation in IT and in eGovernment implementation. We are deeply committed to the development of a reliable IT infrastructure as it advances the use of technology in government agencies, which improves productivity and reduces operational costs.”
