Data should be shared to serve digital economy
1/3/20
Data is considered a core element of Vietnam's digital
economy; however, it is not well shared and connected to serve the
country.
Speaking at an online seminar held by the Government Web Portal on February 28, Nguyen The Trung, CEO of DTT Technology Joint Stock Company said: “Vietnam has not yet seen the power of exploiting data.”
Trung said many places still managed data in the traditional way, in an ask-give manner instead of sharing data, so “a national database is still an impossible mission.”
Seeing changes in the awareness of sharing information in many places, Trung said: “National digital data will take place soon. It will be a waste if the information is closed, not shared.”
Nguyen Hong Thang, deputy director of the Department of Computerisation, Ministry of Information and Communications, thought Vietnam could develop a digital economy with well-grown technology in which data is the basis for change.
He said: “Local data infrastructure was not built with an overall strategy and data is still distributed in different places.”
The official added: “It is still difficult to connect all the data now, as not all the data is secure. Vietnam has to have a well-protected overall data system first.”
Thang confirmed: “Local technology could now protect the data,” but what was needed was “determined minds from all the decision makers,” he added.
Thang considered Vietnam one of the leading countries in approaching and moving forward to make regulations on open data management that help people, businesses and the whole society.
Nguyen Hoang Phuong, deputy director of the Information Technology Centre of the Vietnam Social Security, said his agency had been aware of the role of data sharing for a long time.
Phuong said their database included 86 million people with health insurance and about 15 million people participating in social insurance, which is one of the largest data stores in Vietnam.
The Vietnam Social Security has worked on connection and data sharing. Currently, it is connecting and sharing data with eight service providers.
Phuong also said they worked with the tax agencies and the Ministry of Justice in connecting data of their clients with nearly 13,000 medical examination and treatment facilities.
He said: “It is necessary to connect with more and more agencies to enrich the database.”
Praising the efforts of Phuong’s agency, experts at the seminar agreed that national databases on agriculture, finance and population and land management were still needed.
Thang told the seminar: “The Ministry of Information and Communications is drafting a decree on management, connection and sharing of digital data, in which it makes it compulsory for all state agencies to share data with other state agencies.”/.

Digital platforms are no longer exclusive to tech companies, and they have become increasingly popular in other sectors as they look to enhance their competitiveness.
Factors that form the foundation of an e-Government must be completed in 2020, which is one of the tasks in e-Government building for the year.
Vietnam has been adapting to the development of the global economy as well as science and technology in recent years, but the country is still facing issues such as laws, cyber security and privacy, as well as a shortage of expert IT staff.
Sharing data will help transparent procedures and boost administrative works for all sake.
The country's technology start-up environment is facing many shortcomings, from the legal framework to service sectors, because technology always develops faster than the legal framework.
Vietnam has many policies to promote digital platforms to support businesses, however, these policies have handed the advantage to foreign businesses, creating unfair competition.
All ministries, sectors and localities have been connected with the national e-document exchange platform, helping raise the rate of e-documents exchanged online.
For 2020, the leader requested all resources to be mobilised to fulfill the goals set for the year, especially raising the rate of level-4 online public services to 30 percent.
The national public service portal, an electronic platform to connect the Government with people and enterprises, was officially opened nationwide
Ministries, sectors and localities to build a strategy on e-Government for 2021-2025 with a vision to 2030; perfect relevant regulations such as issuing decrees on data management, connection and sharing, online identification and verification, and personal information protection, and amending laws on e-transactions and archives; and complete the basic factors of an e-Government.
We must build a legal framework for the effective implementation of administrative procedures and online public services.
To do that, the State plays a very important role in creating a fair playing field through legal mechanisms and frameworks.
The most important asset in the field of technology is a user database. it's private rights.
the State needs a mechanism to control data resources, while domestic enterprises must focus on investing in technology and avoid dependence on services supplied by foreign tech corporations.
This is also the strategy many countries are using to create a digital platform ecosystem, where cooperation and co-creation are connected.
Users are employing foreign services every day and they are exploiting rather than investing in the Vietnamese market.
In the future, the use of digital platforms by businesses will become a decisive factor in their success.
They also shared new insights about the digital application process, including designing websites, building customer relationships management (CRM) systems, chatbots, building a foundation for digital marketing, and attracting customers with digital advertising platforms.
It is hoped to bring useful information to businesses, enabling them to better combine digital platform tools that could help increase the number of customers and optimize customer services amid serious competition.
The Government Office was assigned to submit the draft Decree on administrative procedures in electronic environment.
