(VOVWORLD) - Digital transformation is a global trend. It’s not using just the application of IT to improve processes. It’s a revolution with a new mindset and new ways of applying digital technology. Strengthening the digital transformation of political organizations, state agencies, and businesses in Vietnam has brought practical benefits to the community.

Nguyen Huy Dung, Deputy Minister of Information and Communications, says digital transformation makes people’s lives better.

Thanks to digital transformation, the smart phone has become a popular payment device for people in Lao Cai province.

Lu To Hung, Vice Chairman of the People’s Committee of Nam Ly commune said: "It used to be difficult for us to get cash. ATM machines were far away and often crowded. Now, things have gotten easier with cashless payment."

Lao Cai province is about to launch a public service portal and shorten the time needed to clear customs procedures or complete other administrative procedures at border gates.

Cao Ba Quy, Head of Lao Cai province’s Economic Management Board, said: "Customs clearance, goods reception, and logistics will be more efficient on the digital platform."

At a seminar in Hanoi on Sunday on accelerating digital transformation, Nguyen Huy Dung, Deputy Minister of Information and Communications, said digital transformation makes people’s lives better.

Mr. Dung said: "One way to accelerate digital transformation is to have individuals and organizations to share the problems they face during the transformation. The Ministry of Information and Communications has made a list of 150 problems ministries, sectors, and businesses face in digital transformation. This will be a useful source for IT developers."

The Ministry offers free online courses to teach people fundamental digital skills. It also has a website at khonggianmang.vn to receive feedback on cybersecurity and digital transformation from the public and businesses.
