  • A Model Agreement on the exchange of electronic documents in the Interdepartmental Electronic Information Exchange System (IEIES).
  • A Model Contract between the operator of the IEIES and a participant of the system.

These documents fully define the general principles, procedures, and technical requirements for implementing document and information exchanges between the information systems of state agencies.

  • Reducing the time frame for information exchange between state agencies;
  • Ensuring the reliability and security of document circulation;
