The event marked an important milestone, building on the positive outcomes of previous initiatives supporting digital archiving at the local level, and extending the impact of technological adoption to central government agencies.

Speaking at the conference, Mr. Dang Thanh Tung, Director General of the State Records and Archives Department, expressed his appreciation for the strong support and collaboration of leaders from ministries, sectors, local authorities, and related organizations in advancing digital archiving.
“In recent times, particularly during the implementation of the two-tier local government model, records and archives management at the local level has faced extremely urgent demands, with large volumes of documents and intense processing pressure,” Mr. Tung stated. “In line with Resolution No. 57 and relevant guiding documents, the Ministry of Home Affairs and the State Records and Archives Department have prioritized the organization of working missions to localities and the development of records management schemes to support this governance transition.”

During the conference, delegates shared and discussed practical challenges encountered in the digital transformation of records and archives management within central government agencies. Key issues included the large volume of documents and the sector-specific nature of records, particularly regulations on retention periods and dossier composition. In response, leaders of the State Records and Archives Department reaffirmed their commitment to supporting ministries through detailed guidance documents, standardized procedures, implementation methodologies, and concrete technological solutions to comprehensively address these challenges.

Developed in collaboration with FPT, the software complies with the Law on Archives and sector-specific professional requirements, ensuring data security, integrity, and scalability throughout its lifecycle.The solution supports end-to-end management of archival records and documents, while contributing to data standardization and facilitating connectivity and information sharing among agencies in line with the unified orientation of the archival sector.
Ms. Pham Thuy Loan, Director of Government Operations at FPT IS, FPT Corporation, affirmed: “Through years of collaboration with numerous localities, FPT has gained a deep understanding of the complexity and unique characteristics of archival work, which demands very high standards of technical standardization and regulatory compliance. At the same time, FPT has had the opportunity to engage from the early stages of developing the legal framework for archiving and building archival software systems, enabling us to thoroughly grasp regulatory, professional, and technological requirements. We are confident not only in delivering technology solutions, but also in providing hands-on consulting and operational support tailored to the specific needs of each ministry and sector, contributing to the comprehensive modernization of the records and archives sector.”
