    From the Article: According to the president, Indonesia's central and regional governments together operate a fleet of 27,000 apps, many of which overlap or aren't integrated. New platforms often get developed every time a new minister, governor or official takes office. One ministry stands accused of operating over 500 different applications.

    Nice idea but I doubt it will do anything meaningful. The corruption is rampant here. You can even tell in his own words, it's his data not the people's but his data! That shows the core problem.

    Sounds worse than some UK agencies.
