History

2024:90% of the documents of the government apparatus are presented in electronic form. How the Cabinet of Ministers switches to EDO

By the end of 2024, approximately 90% of documents on the site of the government apparatus are presented in electronic form. For comparison, five years earlier this figure did not exceed 40%. Such data in mid-December 2024 was published by the Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation - Chief of Staff of the Government Dmitry Grigorenko.

Electronic document management (EDM) systems allow you to create, process, forward, sign, store documents in digital form in compliance with the necessary security requirements, without the use of electronic media. Such solutions allow you to automate many routine processes. Electronic document management systems are actively used by federal and regional authorities.

To exchange documents between government agencies in electronic form, the GosEDO platform is used. It includes an electronic document management system (EDMS), which has been operating on the site of the government apparatus since 2023. It allows you to form documents immediately in digital form - without the need for duplication on paper. Thanks to the use of digital technologies, the division of the government apparatus receives a document for consideration within an hour, and about the same amount of time takes the process of sending bills to the State Duma.

As the Vedomosti newspaper notes, since 2023, 100% of documents and instructions at the site of the government apparatus are controlled in the EDO system. Previously, control was carried out in paper form or through separate decentralized departmental systems. From 2025, EDOs should be introduced by all ministries and departments, as well as other executive bodies subordinate to the Russian government. And by 2030 it is planned to completely switch to EDO of local self-government bodies, state and municipal institutions. In addition, centralized storage of electronic archival documents is provided.^[1]

The share of interdepartmental electronic document management of the Russian authorities reached 75%

By December 2021, about 75% of the document flow between the Russian authorities is carried out in electronic form. About this Deputy Prime Minister - Head of the Government Apparatus RFDmitry Grigorenko at the annual meeting of the Chairman of the Federation Council with State Secretaries - Deputy Heads of Federal Executive Bodies.

The government is now very actively switching to electronic document management. And with the State Duma, and now with the Federation Council, they also switched to it. So that you understand, today our percentage of paper document management is reduced to 25%, "he said.

The share of interdepartmental electronic document management of the Russian authorities reached 75%

According to Grigorenko, an agreement has been reached with the Federation Council by March 2022 to switch to a 100% electronic document flow for certain types of documents, such as appeals from senators, parliamentary requests, answers, letters of service signed by the chairman and deputy chairmen. This will make work faster and more efficient. In addition, "all this will be seen as in the palm of your hand, speed up interaction," the Deputy Prime Minister added.

In early December 2021, the Ministry of Digital Development of the Russian Federation published a draft government decree, in which it proposed to draw up documents for official use in electronic form. The document also defines the general requirements for the procedure for handling documents for official use, including the procedures for their creation, transfer, reception, use, storage, destruction and removal of the restriction on the distribution of copies of documents for official use.

In order to prevent unauthorized access to documents in electronic form containing service information of limited distribution, when transferring them, it is possible to use the transport bus of interdepartmental electronic document management, if the sender and recipient have electronic document management systems, or other software (software and hardware) solutions, the Ministry of Ministry of Digital Development.[2]

Mishustin approved the rights to exchange electronic documents "when organizing information interaction"

At the end of July 2021, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed a government decree approving the rights to exchange electronic documents "when organizing information interaction." The corresponding document, which will enter into force on December 1, 2021, has been published on the official portal of legal information.

The approved rules establish the procedure for information interaction by exchanging documents in electronic form of federal state authorities, state authorities of constituent entities of the Russian Federation, other state bodies, as well as organizations that perform publicly significant functions, if these participants have joined the interdepartmental electronic document management system.

Mikhail Mishustin approved the rights to exchange electronic documents "when organizing information interaction"

It also provides for the procedure for information interaction when maintaining a global address directory and the procedure for working with notifications in the process of exchanging documents in electronic form.

The organizer of interdepartmental electronic document management is the Federal Security Service (FSO) of the Russian Federation. It ensures the interaction of participants in interdepartmental electronic document management, and is also the operator of the head node of interdepartmental electronic document management. The FSO also maintains a global address directory for participants in information interaction and sends current directories to participants.

Technological regulations for the creation, formation and distribution, as well as technical requirements for the data structure and format of such reference books, are determined by the Ministry of Digital Development and the Federal Security Service.

The document defines the concept of "document in electronic form," describes the process of exchanging such documents, establishes algorithms for the stages of interaction, requirements for information protection, etc.^[3][4]"

Ministry of Digital Development proposes to simplify the connection of new participants to the EDM. Now this process is labor-intensive and lengthy

The Ministry of Digital Development proposes to simplify the connection to the system of interdepartmental electronic document management (EDO) of new participants who have the need to electronically carry out document management with government agencies and among themselves. To do this, the department presented a draft decree of the Government of the Russian Federation on the approval of new rules for the exchange of documents in electronic form when organizing information interaction. The document was published on May 7, 2021 on the regulation.gov.ru portal^[5].

As TAdviser was explained in the Ministry of Digital Development, in accordance with the current regulation on the EDM system, in order to connect to it, a new participant must confirm his status by amending government decree No. 613 of July 22, 2013, which defines, among other things, the list of organizations created to fulfill the tasks assigned to the government. This makes the process quite labor-intensive and lengthy, they say in the department.

And the proposed new rules for the exchange of documents in electronic form within the framework of the EDM allow the connection of new participants to the EDM through the so-called. "Node operators" (in the terminology of the draft resolution - operators of information interaction). Node operators - participants who have their own MED nodes and thus have the technical and organizational ability to provide information interaction according to MED for participants connected to them who do not have their own nodes.

Thanks to the new rules, the circle of MEDO participants is planned to expand "(photo - pixabay.com)"

The condition for connecting such new participants will be compliance with the requirements of the regulations establishing the procedure for connecting them to node operators, as well as determining the formats of electronic messages necessary for organizing information interaction in accordance with the new rules. All this will be approved by a separate joint order of key regulators - the Ministry of Digital Development and the FSO.

Thus, amending government decree No. 613 when connecting a new participant in the general case ceases to be necessary, the Ministry of Digital Development explained.

Thanks to the new rules to be approved by the government, it is planned to expand the circle of MEDO participants, except exclusively federal, regional executive bodies and large companies with state participation, which have about 200 in the system, at the expense of municipal bodies, budgetary subordinate institutions, non-profit organizations created to solve government problems.

The draft resolution was developed at the Ministry of Digital Development with the direct participation of experts from specialized Federal Research Institute and the Government Apparatus of the Russian Federation, was discussed with members of the expert council on improving interdepartmental electronic document management in state authorities, which was created under the Ministry of Digital^[6].

Meeting of the Expert Council on Improving MED in State Authorities, August 26, 2020, Moscow

We record the widespread adoption of MED in federal and regional executive bodies. However, at the municipal level, the use of electronic document management is still insufficient. One of our tasks now is to expand its use in administrations of municipalities of all levels and among budgetary institutions, such as schools, gardens, hospitals, - said Chernenko, whose words are quoted by the press service of the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications.

The ministry noted the widespread use of the practice of transferring scanned copies of paper documents with handwritten signatures and scanned copies of applications via MEDO. In addition, there are no legally enshrined strict requirements for filling in descriptive fields when transferring documents according to the EDM, as well as requirements for maintaining unified regulatory reference information common to all EDM participants.

The solution of these issues will be dealt with by the expert council on improving electronic document management in state authorities. Its new composition will be approved by order of the Ministry of Communications.^[8]
