The State Council issued a circular for the pilot run of intensive platforms of government websites.

The move is set to integrate scattered websites, connect data, and resolve inconveniences through intensive platforms built on a unified information and resource base.

The circular called for active application of new technologies, coordinated top-level design, strict budget and project management, and stable progress in the pilot stage.

According to the circular, intensive platforms should be completed before the end of December 2019 in 10 municipalities, regions, and autonomous regions.

Intensive platforms should be built with unified standards, technical platforms, security control, and maintenance, for integrated and connected data, services, and application, the circular stated.

The intensive platforms should be able to support management of websites, columns, resources, authorization, content release, interaction, user registration, complaint report, security control, and other functions necessary for government websites and services.

Construction of the pilot platforms should set requirements on information classification, formats, and interfaces, and establish standards on data, for unified resource usage and monitoring, the circular said.

Meanwhile, a unified information and database should be built, featuring scientific classification, collective management, and sharing, with the goal of resource utilization across websites, systems, and levels.

Local government service platforms should be connected with the intensive platform of the region to provide unified and convenient information services for the public.

The platforms should enhance security levels with preferential procurement of domestic hardware and software, and IPv6 will also be supported, the circular stated.
