09.10.2015
The process of providing electronic services through the single access portal has already been completed and was shown today during the demonstration of the activities implemented under the project to upgrade the platform of e-governance financed by the Operational Program "Administrative Capacity". The contractors presented their developments in a test environment and showed how the system will work after project completion.
"The results of this project fully enable a service to be requested, paid or obtained electronically", said Hristo Hristov, Director of the "Information Technology" Directorate at MTITC and project manager. "The dynamics of the processes and information technology, as well as the change in the regulations require upgrading of the existing resources and systems so that they can quickly and effectively serve the end user, namely the citizens", he added. Hristo Hristov said that the choice of pilot administrations was made among those with the most used services, and would facilitate by making them electronic.
The demonstration showed the process of requesting and obtaining a certificate of good standing issued by the Registry Agency, a certificate of conviction provided by the Ministry of Justice and a certificate of approval of the "Customs" Agency. "Last year alone, over 700 000 people requested the issuance of criminal records, and more than 190 000 – a certificate of good standing", said Hristo Hristov and pointed out that users will be facilitated with the introduction of the whole process of electronic issuance of these documents.
The modules for e-filing, e-payment, e-validation and e-provision of documents, as well as disposable authentication of information systems and natural persons were demonstrated at the event. Contractors demonstrated the upgraded version of the portal for access to electronic administrative services, which serves as a single entry point for requesting e-services. The mobile version was also demonstrated. Another activity provides the connection of some 32 new registers at the central level, which will significantly increase the possibilities for the automatic exchange of data between administrations.
