INNOVATION
allow the digitalisation of forms and the
provision of better services. This solu-
tion should be implemented by next
year.
The CONvErGE project also aims at
better use of information within the IT
systems used by the Public Service. This
will be achieved through Base Registers,
containing common data which can be
used across Government and which will
enable the Once-Only principle. This
will enable Government Departments
to have access to correct information
through the national data portal. This
portal will incorporate the Open Data
portal that will be used for the Europe-
an Data Portal.
Along with these horizontal projects,
MITA will also be involved in the verti-
cal projects that will be implemented by
the different ministries. Although each
ministry will be responsible for its own
systems, MITA will be providing con-
sultancy for the implementation of cer-
tain systems.
