Vietnam’s FPT software corporation and Japan’s Hitachi and Zenrin groups will help the Mekong Delta province of Kien Giang carry out a project to apply information technology in urban management.
Under a Memorandum of Understanding on cooperation between the local authorities and the three groups signed on April 21, the firms will work with the province to research the feasibility of the project in order to supply IT services to the province’s administrative management.
Hitachi and Zenrin will transfer their software and provide consultancy and support to Kien Giang in implementing IT projects, especially the application of a geographical information system (GIS) for mapping, to help the province realise its socio-economic development goals set for the next five years.
According to the provincial Department of Information and Communications, the project will also help state agencies in the province improve their managerial competence.
Through the project, Kien Giang is expected to become one of the first localities to successfully apply the model of urban management by IT in Vietnam.
The project’s first phase will give priority to Rach Gia city and Phu Quoc district, towards developing the two localities into modern and smart urban areas in the future.-VNA
