Inner Mongolia promotes "Internet +" and explores government cloud construction

[[188588]]

The intensive construction of "Internet +" government affairs in Inner Mongolia has achieved fruitful results. "Replenishing water", "speeding up", "cross-border" and "replenishing warehouses" are several major paths to promote the construction of "Internet +" government affairs in Inner Mongolia.

——After four stages, the construction of “Internet +” government affairs has achieved initial results

The first stage was the departmental network construction stage. The major departments of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region independently established business systems and dedicated networks, and planned a unified "W"-shaped e-government network for the entire region, which was the first in the national departmental network construction period.

The second stage is the construction of the national government extranet. On the basis of the "W"-shaped government extranet construction, Inner Mongolia built a three-level backbone network with the autonomous region's finances paying for it, saving a lot of financial funds for leagues, cities, banners and counties, and ensuring the safe, stable, fast and efficient operation of the "government information highway".

The third stage is the government cloud construction stage. The Inner Mongolia government held a special meeting to clarify that the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Economic and Information Commission would build the Inner Mongolia government cloud to serve government departments at all levels and non-confidential business applications. The Inner Mongolia Electronic Government Cloud Center, the main infrastructure for "Internet +" government affairs, has officially started operation, marking the entry of Inner Mongolia's "Internet +" government affairs into the cloud era.

The fourth stage is the big data application stage of the government cloud. At present, the functions of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Government Cloud Center have been basically completed. In the future, Inner Mongolia plans to rely on the government cloud platform to coordinate, integrate, clean and utilize the government information resources and data applications of the entire region.

The Inner Mongolia e-government cloud center carries a total of 1,639 businesses at the national, autonomous region, league city, and county levels, and hosts more than 300 departmental devices. It not only greatly shortens the time for departmental business deployment, but also saves nearly 100 million yuan in construction funds for the Inner Mongolia finance.

The Inner Mongolia Government Affairs Cloud Platform will provide the infrastructure for the integration, sharing, analysis and leadership decision-making of government affairs data across the region, and ultimately realize "network integration for transmission", "information resource integration", "business application integration", "operation and maintenance service integration" and "security assurance integration", and this goal will be achieved within two to three years.

—— Encountering four shackles, it is urgent to remove the obstacles to "Internet +" government affairs

At present, Inner Mongolia has achieved remarkable results in the construction of "Internet +" government affairs. However, facing the new situation, the government external network still faces some problems, which has become a stumbling block to the promotion and use of "Internet +" government affairs.

First, the network level is low and urgently needs to be "replenished". Inner Mongolia has a vast territory and a large east-west span. There are 14 leagues and cities (12 leagues and cities and 2 independent cities) and 102 banners and counties in the region. The network infrastructure of each banner and county varies greatly. Some banners and counties are relatively mature, such as the Xincheng District of Hohhot City, which has built a government cloud center. Other banners and counties have just achieved full network coverage and have become a depression for "Internet +" government affairs. They do not have the ability and level to build a cloud center and still need to be "replenished".

Second, data migration is slow and needs to be "accelerated". The unified network platform is an important application of the intensive government cloud. At present, the process of data migration from the private network to the government cloud of Inner Mongolia government departments is slow, resulting in the failure to fully play the role of the unified network platform. It is understood that the e-government data of some departments remain in the business applications of the department's private network. Due to the unwillingness to update the operating habits, they are "unwilling to migrate" or "don't want to migrate"; some other departments "can't migrate" or "can't migrate" because of the high professionalism of data migration.

Third, there are many conceptual constraints, and there is an urgent need for "cross-border". Due to the constraints of traditional paper-based office concepts, the Inner Mongolia government cloud is not strong in supporting cross-departmental information sharing and business collaboration, and the real data exchange capacity is insufficient. The atmosphere of paperless office is not enough.

The security of government cloud is the main reason why some government departments are reluctant to use it.

Fourth, there is a shortage of talents who understand "three things" and they need to be "replenished". Jing Yulin, deputy inspector of the Economic and Information Commission of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, believes that in the current "Internet +" government affairs in Inner Mongolia, the whole network operation management and collaborative service system need to be further improved, and the operation and maintenance capabilities and network management capabilities need to be further strengthened. As a region with relatively backward network applications, Inner Mongolia lacks talents who understand the Internet, e-government, and Inner Mongolia. Knowing that informatization is a trend, due to the lack of relevant talents, there are ideas but no ideas.

In the period of building a service-oriented government, the government should be in sync with the public's way of thinking and information channels, and "Internet +" government affairs are indispensable in building a service-oriented government.

——Expect three measures to build an "Internet +" government software and hardware environment

Under the background of the country's promotion of the "Internet +" strategy, how to make government affairs quickly and effectively catch up with the express train of the Internet is a problem to be solved in the future government affairs cloud construction. Industry insiders believe that for Inner Mongolia, proactive "Internet +" government affairs is more direct and effective than "Internet +" government affairs, and four major measures are still needed to promote the integration of government affairs and the Internet.

First, the "two separations" in infrastructure construction. In the Internet era, physical construction and logical construction are equally important, and only intensive "Internet +" government affairs can achieve maximum efficiency, which requires the physical construction and logical construction of various government departments to be "two separations". Inner Mongolia held a special meeting of the chairman, clarifying that the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region government cloud will have a two-level architecture - physical government cloud centers will be built at the autonomous region and league and city levels, and the county level will serve as a node, only for application, and no physical cloud center will be built; at the same time, less than 14 physical government cloud centers will be built in the 14 leagues and cities in the region. Leagues and cities that do not have the construction capacity can share government clouds with surrounding leagues and cities, or rely on the autonomous region's government cloud center.

Second, the government cloud should be coordinated "up and down". When developing the government cloud in Inner Mongolia, the platform should be moved up and the service should be extended downward. When building the platform, the upward coordination can achieve overall consideration at the autonomous region level, which is more conducive to the subsequent opening of the four-level platforms of autonomous region, league city, banner county, and township; and the service is based on the construction of the four-level platform, and further extends downward and outward, extending government services through the Internet to the township and even village level, and extending vertical industry services outward to the surrounding related areas to achieve universal coverage.

Third, a "two-pronged approach" should be adopted in talent development. Compared with network infrastructure construction, Inner Mongolia's "Internet +" government affairs are more lacking in operation and maintenance talents, and the operation and maintenance personnel of some departments are part-time. The interviewed departments expect that the relevant departments will make overall considerations at the autonomous region level and achieve a "two-pronged approach" in terms of talents for "Internet +" government affairs - professional training for operation and maintenance personnel of relevant departments; at the same time, appropriate professional and technical personnel should be added to areas with serious talent shortages to ensure that the service level reaches the average level of the autonomous region.

Leading cadres of some units should also receive training in rotation so as to create an atmosphere of paperless office within their departments.
