Moscow: Russian regions have
created 1,100 systems that can become a part of the future
e-Government, Moscow Mayor has said.
"In 2008, the president of Russia approved an
information society development strategy," Moscow Mayor Yuri
Luzhkov said at a joint meeting of the State Council and the
presidential Council for the Development of Information
Society yesterday.
He delivered a report titled "Regional Experience and
Major Obstacles in the Development of Information Society and
E-Government".
"During this time, regions have created 1,100
solutions for the first stage of e-Government, and this should
be done quickly," he said.
He mentioned Tatarstan where a housing capital repair
monitoring system is working, the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous
Area where a regional databank of natural resources has been
created, and Khabarovsk where a unified city utilities
monitoring system has been put in place.
"Moscow has the electronic Muscovite`s card which
serves both as an ID and a payment means. More than 3.5
million Muscovites use it, mainly pensioners," Luzhkov said.
He believes this experience can be used for creating a
single electronic ID document in Russia.
"Moscow shares its technologies with the interested
regions for free and uses other regions` experience. It is
important that our experience is shared for free," the mayor
said.
