Use of information technology in State governance will bringabout profound changes in every public administration service and procedure and transform thinking of people in leadership roles, said Dam, who also servesas Vice Chairman of the National Steering Committee on Digital Transformation.

Executives must play a role model in accelerating ITapplication, he noted.

Given the large scale of the project, it requires great determination ofvarious ministries and governmental agencies to address legal barriers, and change their "localised mindset" to share a database system, he said.

Selected as a city to run the project on a trial basis,Hanoi must redouble efforts and take concrete steps to translate it intoreality, he urged. The city’s departments and units must closely coordinate andestablish inter-sectoral taskforces to tackling emerging issues, he added.
