Río Negro, Mendoza and Santiago del Estero experiences with their EDIs

Federico Lutz, Minister of Modernization of the province of Río Negro, said that Río Negro set up its EDI two weeks ago, built on the basis of information and pre-existing agreements. He stressed that the EDI in Río Negro is of a federated nature after the signing of an agreement with Neuquén. “We realized that the EDI should not have borders, the province could not admit borders between its citizens,” he said.

Juan Carlos Morales, Systems Manager at CIID SE, in Santiago del Estero, said that the EDI has existed for two years in that province. He said that more than a technological problem, the EDI poses a cultural challenge. “It is about making the public employee understand that he should not ask the citizen for a paper when the office next door already has it,” he said.

Maximiliano Jaime, General Director of Information Technology and Communications of the province of Mendoza, observed that in that jurisdiction, EDI initiatives began to be carried out in an isolated manner, with an “individual, non-integrated and non-collaborative” approach, so one of the challenges of the provincial EDI is to integrate these isolated developments.

In the two years that Mendoza has been with X-Road, it has managed to generate a human resource base that already trains new members of the teams linked to EDI and officials of the agencies affiliated with EDI, which now total 20 organizations.
