The application ensures the provision of services for involvedagencies’ general management and electronic document exchange. As a result, workflowsare automated, unified, standardised, and independent of participants’ subjectivewill. In particular, local people can participate in quality control and work outcomes.

Pham Van Thanh, Vice Chairman of the provincial People’sCommittee, said the standardisation and application of the electronic ISO systemin the operation of state administrative agencies play a very important role inthe local process of digital transformation and digital government building.

According to Nguyen Hoang Linh, deputy director of the Ministry of Science and Technology's Directorate for Standards, Metrology and Quality, Quang Ninh’s application has so far gained goodresults, with 100 percent of its public agencies already joining the system./.
