EGOV4UKRAINE project finalised the piloting of the information system Vulyk and awarded its most active users in the seminar held on April 11-12, 2019 in Odessa.

The project EGOV4UKRAINE handed to seven ASCs over Wi-Fi routers for their active participation in the piloting of the Vulyk system. The awards went to ten administrators from seven ASCs for their valuable contribution and smart ideas during the piloting phase. The piloting was conducted from August 2018 – March 2019 in 10 administrative service centres (ASC).

According to EGOV4UKRAINE team leader Mari Pedak, the piloting gave a fruitful experience to all participants. “We are very grateful for all input and suggestions the users of Vulyk made during the piloting and in the final seminar. We put all our efforts into developing the system further and opening it to interact with state registries via the Trembita system. This will reduce paperwork and raise the speed of the work and communication of ASCs tenfold,” said Mari Pedak.

All shareholders of the piloting took part in the seminar: representatives of ASCs of the cities of Nova Kakhovka, Kamyanets-Podolsky, Kakhovka, Obukhov, Olevsk, Pereyaslav-Khmelnitsky, Rzhyshchiv, Yuzhne; EGOV4UKRAINE project team, State Agency for E-Governance of Ukraine, Center of Information Resources of Ukraine and "Soft Xpansion Ukraine", the company developing the information system.

The information system Vulyk will be launched in up to 600 ASCs across Ukraine by the end of the year 2020.
