Abstract
In the context of ongoing government institutional reform and the growing trend of digital transformation in public administration, the application of information technology (IT) has become an important tool to improve governance efficiency, enhance transparency, and better serve citizens and businesses. As one of the pioneering localities in promoting digital government in Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City has actively implemented various IT applications in state management and public service delivery. These efforts have contributed to improving administrative procedures, strengthening coordination among government agencies, and supporting the reform of the state administrative apparatus. Based on the practical experience of Ho Chi Minh City, this article analyzes and evaluates the effectiveness of IT application in the context of government institutional reform. At the same time, it identifies several shortcomings and challenges arising during the implementation process. On that basis, the article proposes a number of solutions to further enhance the effectiveness of IT application in supporting government reform and digital governance in the coming period.
