The online video conferencing system has been deployed to connect the province with 10 districts, cities and 100% of communes, wards and townships, with a total of 277 connection points, as well as 21 education facilities and 13 points of the health care sector. Along with upgrading the multipoint control unit (MCU) of the system, the province has invested in equipment system and provided resources to set up online meeting rooms for 20 connection points in departments and sectors, along with a MCU system serving video conferencing throughout the province.

The electric single-window system has been launched in all departments, agencies and communes of Bac Giang, together with a connection system linking the administrations at provincial, district and communal levels, and another linking the administrations at all levels with the business registration system. 

A software to manage documents has also been applied with integrated digital signatures, through which 6,890 digital certificates have been issued, with 4,924 to individuals, 1,964 to organisations and 2 to equipment. 

Meanwhile, the province has also finished the digitalisation of its base map, the transport planning map, maps of industrial parks and clusters as well as the land use planning map of Bac Giang city, Viet Yen and Hiep Hoa districts, and maps on telecommunications post and base transceiver stations (BTS) in the locality.

The provincial Department of Information and Communications has been building a software to digitalise essential information of the province, including evaluation of the digital transformation index of the province, which will be integrated into the basemap system of the province.

The Bac Giang Post Office has also designated Vpostcode addresses to 100% of households in the province.

At the same time, 47.85% medical facilities from the communal level have been connected with medical establishments at higher levels to receive assistance in remote health examination, while 85% of banks based in the province has provided online financial-banking services. Meanwhile, 9.07% local agricultural cooperatives have engaged in e-commerce activities and applied high farming technology.
