Up to now, the city’s data center has been providing regular services to the people and government, which is using modern technology that meets international standards, Quy said, adding that IT technical infrastructure has been standardized to facilitate workflow over the internet and provide online public services and teleconferences.

In the time ahead, Hanoi will update the city's e-government architecture in accordance with Vietnam’s e-government architecture framework (version 2.0) and focus on completing the information system and the remaining core database on land, finance and general statistics on population.
