Rostislav Konyashkin, Chairman of the Management Board of NIT JSC, presented a report on the survey of the current infrastructure and technologies of the electronic government of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

The survey included measures to analyze the fields of databases of information systems of state bodies, the telecommunications infrastructure of the unified transport environment of state bodies (ETS GO), the processes of implementation of public services of the Republic of Kazakhstan, as well as the state of cybersecurity of departments of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

For example, at the moment, there are problems with poor data quality in the systems of state agencies of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and based on the analysis, their main causes have been identified. So, the same data have different abbreviations and formulations of the same object (for example, place of residence, registration address, etc.).

Metadata was analyzed in 128 databases of 32 state agencies, including about 80 thousand tables and about 1 million fields in databases of information systems of state agencies.

Based on the results of the work, not only the actual structure of the databases of state agencies has been collected and recreated, but also the data catalog of state data for metadata management has been unified and filled in.

According to Rostislav Konyashkin, the conclusions and recommendations in all areas of the survey will allow to modernize the e-government system when switching to a platform model.

It should be noted that consulting companies, Kazakhstani IT experts and market participants were involved in the survey. In addition, a detailed report of the survey will be published on the official resources of JSC "NI "Zerde" and JSC "NIT" by the end of February 2022.
