ArmInfo.Digitalization, innovation and advanced technology are considered by the government.
Armenia as a key tool for creating an effective and participatory public administration system, creating a favorable business environment and ensuring rapid economic growth, providing high-quality public services to the population. According to the press service of the Government of Armenia, the head of the Council, Deputy Prime Minister Tigran Avinyan stated at the first meeting of the Digitalization Council. According to him, during the election campaign, the government program announced the intentions of the authorities to build a country that will become technologically advanced and innovative, capable of solving problems and maximizing breakthroughs. "Digitalization is key role in achieving these goals. We have set specific goals in the areas of management efficiency, technology development and digitalization, "said the Deputy Prime Minister.
Tigran Avinyan, in the first place, emphasized the importance of modernizing the public administration system, implementing reforms to reduce costs, eliminating unnecessary bureaucratic procedures. In addition, according to him, it is necessary to ensure interaction and synchronization of the state information system, to modernize, automate and digitize modern services based on the principle of "single window". "This will allow the exchange of data between government bodies only after a citizen requests data, digitizes the economy and provides favorable conditions for the development of the digital economy, ensures information security, cybersecurity and confidentiality during the digitization period," the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized.
On the whole, he continued, the goals in the field of digitalization and technological development are quite ambitious and cover almost all areas of government, local government and economics. Realization of these goals requires systematic interagency cooperation, and a Digitalization Council was created to coordinate work. Within the framework of the Council, it is planned to ensure discussion of all digitization strategies, strategic documents, harmonize digitalization policies, and coordinate with international organizations. "Various state and local authorities have done a great job in digitizing management services. Some structures have applied the latest technologies. There are structures that use elements of artificial intelligence. However, assessing the importance and value of the work, I believe that a unified state policy should be pursued in digitalization, programs should be coordinated, and the Digitalization Council should be the coordinating body, "the Vice Prime Minister concluded.
Then, Minister of High-Tech Industry Hakob Arshakyan and Deputy Minister Armen Abroyan presented a report on the digitalization strategy with a detailed description of its indicators and goals. Mikael Pashayan, Deputy Chairman of the State Revenue Committee, presented the roadmap for digitalization of the gaming sector, namely, the application of the relevant standards of Armenia and the creation of the QHD Monitoring Center.
