MANILA, Philippines and HAMBURG, Germany, Feb. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

By introducing a centralized system for storing and processing citizen data,

the Land Transportation Office (LTO) of the Philippines is taking the next step

into a digital and service-oriented future. German company DERMALOG has

supplied the agency with this latest technology

The Philippine Land Transportation Office (LTO) has launched a new system to

digitize and centralize all its services at its headquarters in Metro Manila.

LTO Assistant Secretary Edgar Galvante attended the successful opening of the

pilot project on February 17.

The new system, which is now operating in Metro Manila for the first time,

integrates all LTO services in a single database and digital platform. It

includes all relevant data of Philippine citizens for driver's license, car

registration and even for penalty payment of committed offenses in one single

system. This allows LTO to provide faster services and leads to significant

cost savings in the future.

Thanks to the new solution, LTO employees can process citizen requests faster,

as they obtain all information at a glance with just a few clicks. "The new

system is one of the key steps on our way to becoming a frontline government

agency showcasing fast and efficient public service for a progressive land

transport sector," said Assistant Secretary Edgar Galvante from LTO at the

ceremony on Monday.

The new digital platform of the Land Transportation Office was supplied by the

German company DERMALOG including a new, state of the art datacenter in Metro

Manila. DERMALOG has already provided the new driver's license and system to

the Land Transportation Office in 2017. With a total of 32 security features

and additional biometric features, it is the most secure document in the

Philippines today. Up to 20,000 licenses are issued by LTO per day and about 14

million citizens already hold the new biometric driver's license. With the new

digital platform, LTO and DERMALOG continue their successful cooperation.
