Romanians are at the bottom of the rankings in digital skills, and the fact that they know how to "scroll" on Facebook doesn't mean they have such skills, said, on Monday, Marian Murgulet, CIO Office in the Government, at a select conference.
According to the official, digitization at the national level should start from the citizen, not the public clerk, as the taxpayer has direct interaction with the state institutions.
"It's very important to start with the point of view of the citizen when we speak of digitization. Each time, it started from the clerk's point of view. Whereas the citizens are those who go to ANAF (National Agency for Tax Administration), to ONRC (Trade Register) and they have the direct interaction, and the input that we can receive from them is very important. Not least, we need budgets, coordination, transparency and people to achieve digitization. We are not hiding in saying that there is a lack of competent people in IT in state institutions," said the government representative.
Digital transformation of the central and local public administration, digital signature and e-Government are some of the subjects debated, on Monday, during the "Digital Transformation Agenda of Romania" conference organized in Bucharest.
