Efforts towards realizing data integration as stated in the One Data Indonesia policy will become the basis for Indonesia's digital transformation in all sectors and levels. , including at the government level," he said.

"Besides that, we also need skilled human resources in using the latest technology, therefore collaboration on the transfer of ICT knowledge from several global institutions such as the World Bank, Huawei, Unicef and others is needed so that we are not left behind technologically compared to other countries. and can implement e-government systems with the best and most advanced systems," said Zudan.
