CADE‘s 2020/2021 Digital Transformation Plan was signed on August 3rd. The Plan establishes guidelines aimed at expanding the supply of digital solutions and reducing infrastructure costs, with 23 actions distributed along three axes:
– Service transformation;
– Interoperability; and
– Channel unification.
To this end, initiatives will be developed such as the electronic issuance of debt clearance certificates and the digital questionnaire to collect information on the market for the analysis of concentration acts, as well as public databases of CADE’s final processes for consultation by other bodies and the integration of the SEI with the Single Login.
The Plan is yet another measure brought in by the Federal Government to reduce bureaucracy and costs and increase the efficiency of public organizations, according to CADE’s President. The deputy secretary for Digital Government at the Ministry of Economy’s Digital Government Secretariat also points out that the government’s new digital transformation strategy is to offer simpler, more citizen-focused services.
