This project was designed and implemented based on a Services Agreement (MSA) between the two parties signed on April 9 when Kevin Turner, Microsoft Corporation’s chief operating officer, first visited Vietnam.
The first stage of the project has been completed under the approval of the People’s Committee of Lao Cai province.
Under the signed agreement, Microsoft provided Lao Cai with advanced e-government solutions and deployment supports based on Connected Government Framework (CGF) which was successfully deployed in Egypt, the UK and some countries in Asia and Eastern Europe.
Based on this architecture and design, Lao Cai’s Department of Information and Communications together with Tan Dan Informatics JSC, built Lao Cai’s e-government portal, transferred the information on the province’s current website into the new portal and provided two online public services: ‘Business License Registration and Issue’ and ‘Question/Answer’.
Lao Cai e-Government Portal was designed on a secured and flexible platform which offers easy management, development and integration with other services from different providers.
Apart from the portal, Lao Cai province also owns a high level master design of the whole e-government system which includes all e-government components like infrastructure, portal, gateways along with MS’s recommendationon hardware, software and the implementation roadmap.
This will help Lao Cai avoid overlapping investment and un-integrated applications that could lead to miscommunication and overspending.
