Moscow City Hall plans to update its
site . The launch of the trial version is scheduled for the end of September 2015. Completely redo the current site is planned before the end of the year. After restarting mos.ru, the number of sites of Moscow departments and departments will be reduced. According to the head of the Information Technology Department (DIT) of Moscow, Artyom Yermolaev, a special unit has already been created to support the updated resource in the mayor’s office and the Moscow government.
The concept and layout of the new site cost 42 million rubles. Source "Vedomosti" claims that such costs are fully justified. In the future, this will reduce the costs of maintaining the websites of Moscow departments, prefectures, and so on. According to the materials of the Moscow government, a good example is the British state service and information site
gov.uk, which opened in 2010, with a similar concept. In the very first year of operation, he reduced the cost of maintaining British state-owned Internet resources by almost half (approximately 4.2 billion rubles).
Moscow city enterprises and organizations now have about 7,000 sites. According to DIT, the Moscow departments, organizations and enterprises contain 239 typical portals, which cost a little more than 32 million rubles a year.

In addition to reducing costs, the goal of city authorities is to increase attendance mos.ru. The updated resource will be focused on end users of urban services. In the future, it will become a single point of access to all city services and will allow you to find answers to all the questions that citizens are still looking for in Internet search engines and on scattered city sites, Artem Yermolaev
told Vedomosti. He also added that the dispersedness of urban resources leads, for example, to the fact that people using the urban services portal use little the
Active Citizen service, where they vote on various issues of urban life, and vice versa.
Another goal of restarting the portal is to make it an aggregator of city news. It is necessary to collect all the city news on one resource. Sometimes important news and information appear on the websites of only two or three structures, and the new site will have a wide coverage, explains an employee of one of the metropolitan departments.
The creation of a single point of access to all municipal services corresponds to world trends and can indeed create additional convenience for Muscovites, believes
Rambler GR-director Matvey Alekseev.
