CrimsonLogic, a provider of e-government solutions and services, said the Vietnam government has contracted their services for a consultancy project that will see users of government services receiving improved services through enhanced e-governance capabilities.

The Vietnamese government has embarked on a World Bank-funded project that will involve building a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) that will be the foundation of its National Authentication Framework (NAF). The system will enable customers of the e-government services to access a range of government services electronically using a single electronic identity.

Aside from simplifying procedures, the government said enhancing its e-governance capabilities can save the government up to VND 30 trillion (US$1.5 billion) annually.

CrimsonLogic is working with telecommunications provider FPT Information Systems to implement the project for the Ministry of Information and Communication (MIC) in Hanoi, Vietnam.
