I- SITUATION ASSESSMENT

Over the past years, the province's levels and sectors have led and directed the implementation of digital transformation in a number of areas, achieving initial positive results. Information technology infrastructure has been gradually invested and modernized. Specialized databases have gradually been formed, creating a basis for connecting, communicating, and sharing common data. The province's readiness indicators for the development and application of information technology and e-commerce have regularly reached the national level.

However, the information technology infrastructure has not met the requirements of digital transformation; integration solutions and data sharing between information systems are not yet synchronized, and exploitation efficiency is not high. The application of digital technology in production, business and social life is still limited. Human resources serving digital transformation are still limited in quantity and quality. Management, safety and network security are still passive and have not received due attention.

The above limitations are mainly due to: Inadequate awareness and understanding of digital transformation among Party committees, authorities, agencies, businesses, cadres, party members and people, lack of initiative, creativity, and boldness in changing habits, thinking and actions to innovate methods, processes, operating models and relationships from the media environment to the digital environment. Institutions and state management of digital transformation have not kept up with the practical situation. Investment resources for digital transformation have not met development requirements.
