Control and management of national information systems

Last Updated:

By formulating basic policies for the development and management of national information systems and working to standardize and unify them, administrative service reform from the user's perspective and operational system reform will be advanced in an integrated manner, while enabling efficient system development and information coordination, including with private-sector information systems.

Overview

Digital Agency formulates basic policies for the development and management of information systems for the national government, local governments, quasi-public sector, etc. In particular, national information systems will be re-classified into (I) Digital Agency System, (ii) Digital Agency / Government Office and Ministry Joint Project Type System, and (iii) Government Office and Ministry System. After re-classifying these systems, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government will supervise and manage projects related to these systems and ensure mutual cooperation by standardizing and unifying information systems while examining whether they are in accordance with the basic policies.

In addition, it was decided to establish a mechanism to record the budget collectively in Digital Agency, allocate it to each ministry, and execute it, so that strategic investment can be made in line with the policies of the entire government. In particular, (1) The Digital Agency system will be a common platform for each ministry, and Digital Agency will develop and operate it by itself.
