The platform allows users to access thousands of standardized online services such as electronic social security and medical cards, cross-provincial medical treatment filing, and inter-provincial transfer and housing provident fund services.

The management of government websites has become increasingly standardized and efficient over the years, bringing the number from more than 80,000 in 2015 to 13,946 in 2022.

Government websites serve as information platforms, facilitating interaction between citizens and authorities, disseminating government policies, announcements, and important news, promoting transparent governance and citizen engagement. The integration of government websites is an effective way to avoid repetition and ambiguity and thus enhance the government's serviceability.
