On the morning of May 25, 2023, at the Vietnam - Asia DX Summit 2023 with the theme "Exploiting digital data and smart connections to promote economic growth" organized by the Vietnam Software and IT Services Association (VINASA), MISA shared a part that received the attention of many delegates and press agencies on the issue of connecting and interoperating data between businesses and state agencies.
The Vietnam - ASIA DX Summit 2023 program was attended by Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha, Deputy Minister of Information and Communications Phan Tam, Chairman of VINASA Nguyen Van Khoa and representatives of leaders of ministries, branches, localities and enterprises.
Speaking at the event, Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha affirmed: “Digital transformation cannot be done by one person, one organization, one country or one government. But in digital transformation, everyone and every component must participate so that we can have digital resources. Digital resources are more than a “gold mine”, an endless source of thinking, creativity and intelligence that the world has been creating and exploiting. It is a new resource, a green resource, helping us restore natural resources and promote breakthrough economic development”.

In the opening session, MISA Permanent Deputy General Director Le Hong Quang shared about the importance and benefits of connecting and communicating data between businesses and State agencies. From there, he proposed connecting and exploiting data to bring practical value to the State, people and businesses.
Building a database is a shared responsibility of the State and businesses.
Accordingly, in reality, when it comes to building a national database (CSDLQG), the main responsibility belongs to the ministries and branches in focusing on building data centers and databases. However, the most important part of a national database is the data. Some of this data is managed by state agencies and some is actively managed by organizations and businesses.
MISA Permanent Deputy General Director Le Hong Quang shares about the issue of connecting and interoperating data between state agencies and enterprises
To get the most complete data, it is necessary to have the cooperation of all 3 parties including: the database building unit, the connecting intermediary unit and the data contributing unit. At the same time, all 3 units must be connected to each other.
For units participating in connecting and contributing data, there also needs to be diversity to be able to supplement the National Database with data collected from many fields, organizations and units to meet the exploitation and effectively serve the comprehensive digital transformation process in all 3 pillars: Digital Government, Digital Economy and Digital Society.
Data is only truly valuable when it is exploited.
Analyzing the value of the national database, Mr. Le Hong Quang emphasized that data is only truly valuable when the Government, people, and businesses can exploit and benefit from that data. In particular, if data is opened for businesses to exploit, it will bring many useful services to serve people and state agencies.
For example, in the insurance sector, if there is a national database on traffic, insurance companies are allowed to access and check the history of the vehicle and whether the vehicle owner often has accidents or not, in order to offer appropriate insurance premiums.
Or for example in the banking sector, with unsecured loans, if there is no financial database, all borrowers have equal opportunities and risks. However, if there is a financial database and the bank is allowed to access it, the bank will easily evaluate the loan history, financial transparency, and potential of each borrower, thereby evaluating which borrowers should be lent to, approving loans faster, with more appropriate limits, and reducing the risk ratio when it can filter out borrowers with bad debt histories. For borrowers, the financial database is the basis for proving financial transparency, minimizing paperwork, financial reporting, and easily receiving appropriate loans from the bank more quickly.
The value of the database has been valued, built and deployed by many ministries and branches, allowing businesses to connect and people to exploit it to carry out digital transformation of production, business and operation activities.
Typically, the General Department of Taxation allows electronic invoice providers to connect to provide connection services to receive, transmit, and store electronic invoice data. The Ministry of Education and Training has also put into operation the education sector database to provide a database and information system to serve management in the sector. However, there are still many unsolved connection needs of enterprises, some databases are exclusively connected, causing difficulties for service providers as well as making the database less rich and diverse.
Proposal to connect, exploit and share national database between the State and enterprises
To contribute to improving this situation, MISA proposes that the Government, ministries, departments and branches allow technology enterprises to connect to the National Database on the basis of ensuring the criteria announced by the management agency, and at the same time allow enterprises and people to contribute and exploit data to effectively carry out production, business, operation, administrative procedures and areas surrounding life. In addition, it is necessary to avoid connection monopoly to ensure the National Database is rich and maximizes the value for State agencies, people and enterprises.
As an intermediary unit connecting individuals and organizations to contribute data to the National Database, MISA has developed a number of digital platforms that effectively support data connection between state agencies and organizations and businesses such as: MISA QLCB staff management platform accompanies the Department of Home Affairs - Binh Thuan Province to complete the updating of staff, civil servants and public employees' records on the National Database.
With nearly 30 years of experience in the field of information technology, MISA is willing to accompany and join hands with state agencies, organizations, businesses and people to build and exploit database systems to practically serve the digital transformation process. Data that is built and exploited properly will truly be a resource, a valuable "gold mine" that creates the driving force for the development of a strong and prosperous Vietnam.
