| E-documents to become mandatory in HCMC |
To improve administrative processes, HCMC People's Committee will guide localities how to use e-documents. It will also have to manage the incoming information and send out administrative documents via a specialised network.
The local department of information and communications will be responsible to maintain the network and secure its information.
This is a preparatory step in shifting from normal paper work to adopting e-documents and e-signatures.
The Chairman of HCMC People's Committee Le Manh Ha has also directed relevant agencies to prepare, send out announcements and documents to local authorities via the network.
HCMC’s e-mail system has created nearly 10,000 addresses but only 30% of them are in use and only 20% of local agencies use the network.
