(MENAFN- Trend News Agency)
BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 17. An event
dedicated to the presentation of the updated "mygov" e-government
platform is being held in Azerbaijan, Trend reports.
The event is expected to feature speeches of Deputy Minister of
Digital Development and transport of Azerbaijan Samir Mammadov,
Chairperson of the Board of the Agency for Innovation and Digital
Development under the Ministry of Digital Development and Transport
of Azerbaijan Inara Valiyeva and other persons.
Samir Mamedov announced that by the end of the year, the plan is
to transition 15 percent of services provided to citizens from
physical to digital formats.
“With 'mygov' citizens can access their personal data, update
it, track important notifications, and automate life-event
processes with just a few clicks. This fosters the development of a
more transparent and convenient digital ecosystem, eliminating the
need to visit offices and manage cumbersome paperwork. As part of
our goals, we plan to transition 15 percent of services from
physical to digital formats by the end of the year,” he said.
Mamedov also highlighted that more than 1,700 organizations are
currently integrated into the Digital Document Management System
(DDMS).
“As the chair of COP29, Azerbaijan places significant emphasis
on implementing sustainable and innovative digital solutions. One
such solution is the 'Digital Document Management' submodule, which
greatly enhances process efficiency and reduces environmental
impact. The use of DDM allows government agencies to save over
500,000 sheets of paper monthly, equivalent to preserving about
2,000 trees annually. Currently, more than 1,700 organizations are
integrated into the system, underscoring its significance and
success in government digitalization,” he noted.
Inara Veliyeva emphasized the importance of ensuring "mygov"
does not become a monopoly.
“Recently, the word 'sustainability' has become so commonplace
that everyone uses it, especially in these challenging times. But
what does sustainability truly mean for us? In the context of
constantly evolving technologies and needs, sustainability is the
ability of a platform to adapt and function. When we started this
project, our goal was to create a technological foundation capable
of working effectively in the future,” she said.
The chairperson added that it is crucial to ensure that "mygov"
is not a monopoly.
“It is important that citizens can access services on any
platform of their choice, provided it has undergone necessary
checks. For us, sustainability means not just the development of a
platform dependent on the Innovation and Digital Development
Agency, but independent and long-term growth. Cooperation is
another key principle. The 'mygov' platform is just the visible
part of the iceberg,” Veliyeva emphasized.
Deputy Chairman of the Board at the Innovation and Digital
Development Agency under the Ministry of Transport and Digital
Development of Azerbaijan, Rashad Khaligov, added that the updated
version of "mygov" has greatly simplified the documentation process
for important life events.
“The updated version of the platform has significantly
simplified the process of documenting key life events, such as
marriage, birth, and the death of close relatives. Documents
required for marriage can now be submitted digitally; newborn
registrations are available online; and the death of a relative can
also be recorded through the platform. The 'my data' section of the
'mygov' app stores over forty different informational records,
including digital versions of documents like ID cards, marriage
certificates, birth certificates, and death certificates. Users can
share these documents and information in QR code or PDF format.
Additionally, the app allows tracking the history of data
exchanges, showing when and with which institutions information was
shared. It also provides options for managing permissions for
access to personal data requested by various government agencies,”
he stated.
