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 on Thursday.
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.
