LG CNS established LG CNS Uzbekistan in April this year. Since then, the local corporation has signed contracts worth approximately 25 billion won in the three fields of database business for individual and corporate customers, integrated platform business and IT infrastructure improvement at educational facilities.
At present, LG CNS Uzbekistan is working on contracts worth a total of 127 billion won (US$108 million), including those related to digital libraries, tax management services, kiosks for civil petitions, national geographic information and portals for the central and local governments of Uzbekistan. Under the circumstances, an increasing number of Korean companies doing the same business as LG CNS are expected to be able to start their business in the country.
Korea’s export of e-government systems to Central Asia is on the rise, too. This year, the exports are estimated at US$140.58 million, which is about 4.5 times the cumulative total for the period of 2005 to 2014. A US$110 million portion of it is to build advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), which was ordered by the Asia Development Bank (ADB) and clinched by KT.
In the meantime, the Ministry of Government Administration & Home Affairs and the National Information Society Agency run the Korea-Indonesia e-Government Cooperation Center in Indonesia from February next year. This is expected to result in the export of e-government systems to more Southeast Asian countries.
