The decision also regulates the processes of interconnection of databases.
E-governance in the Republic of Armenia
The Armenian government has launched the first e-government initiatives since 2000. In particular, with the financial support of the state budget and international organizations, EU, UN and the World Bank, the Government of the Republic of Armenia was able to implement a number of projects, which served as a good basis for modernizing the management system.
Electronic interoperability and communication between the government and citizens is already a reality. A number of sophisticated and integrated systems have been created to provide connection between citizens, businesses and government, which are summarized at www.e-gov.am. Development of e-Government systems in Armenia takes place very fast, although the use of e-services by the population is not consistent yet.
In terms of technological interoperability, all government agencies are at the same level concerning e-governance and functionality. For the full efficiency and future development of e-governance it is necessary to develop back-office interoperability and to provide common standards for all public services.
