In 2018, the Opendatabot team proposed the idea of creating distribution registers in the state, but this scenario was not implemented.
As Opendatabot CEO Oleksiy Ivankin told Mezha.Media in an interview, we are talking about the existence of several nodes in the Unified Data Network (in telecommunications and software engineering, a «node» means a broader interconnected network component — ed.).
«It is clear that this register (the Unified State Register) is the main one. Notaries and the registration service can write there, and it can be stored anywhere. Therefore, it is quite possible to make several nodes for both state institutions and commercial structures. Now we would turn off one node, and everyone would work with the others. The maximum inconvenience that would be is the lack of updates. But the state did not go into infrastructure things, but into an application for the end user. No one will say that it is bad when you have a passport, driver’s license and other documents on your phone,» Oleksiy Ivankin explained his opinion.
Ivankin believes that the state’s focus on «Diya» and the accessibility of documents for the population, rather than on the infrastructure of registers, has played a cruel joke.
«I don’t want to say anything bad about the Ministry of Justice and the people who work there. They work a lot. However, as for state policy, the focus is not on infrastructure, but only on the final application, which played a cruel joke. But war is war. We will be without registers for several weeks,» he noted.
The CEO of Opendatabota also expressed his opinion on the possible complete closure of individual registries during the war.
«There was such a discussion with representatives of defense enterprises. You need to understand that all the data that you gave to the state will be published somewhere. This can be both public and non-public. And therefore, companies need to be rebuilt from the point of view of information security. If you notify the tax office that you are renting an office somewhere, everyone will know about it. Although this is not public data. And when we start deleting something from the registers, you will see which companies are deleted or what information. These companies will attract attention. I believe that in Ukraine, a normal, competent lawyer can structure the work of a plant, factory or startup in such a way that the main addresses, production, people, their names will not be contained anywhere. If no one knows how to do this, you can contact me.»
As dev.ua wrote, in 10 months of 2024, Ukraine exported services worth $14.09 billion, of which the IT sector accounted for almost 40%. Opendatabot reported how many millions the state budget received from IT exports each month.
