Guiyang, the capital of Southwest China's Guizhou province, is one of China's first big data pilot areas, and after several years of development, has become a leader in digital socio-economics. The city is home to the country's first big data application laboratory, established in 2017, which is committed to improving governance via the application of big data.
The laboratory was jointly developed by the CETC Big Data Research Institute and Guizhou-Cloud Big Data. The laboratory predominately focuses on 'smart governance' through the development of big data cooperation platforms.
Platforms developed by the lab are enabling different government departments to share data in real-time and improve the efficiency of handling procedures.
Among the procedures that have been streamlined are the registration of a new business, the changing of a company's registration and certificate applications, according to Mu Qilin, deputy director of the laboratory. Citizens in Guiyang no longer need to go to a government service center for these services, and can instead simply apply online and get the certificates through courier services. Mu added that the online platform had been designed to be user-friendly and quick, now only requiring a few steps to complete an application.
In addition, the platforms can be used to effectively monitor government efficiency through big data. The platform is able to provide data analysis, evaluate and offer feedback for government departments, based on the data of the entire city.
