IUNetworks hosted the delegation from Zimbabwe. During the meeting, the Armenian experience of introducing electronic management systems was presented to the guests. Itel.am presents the details of the meeting.
Exchange of experience
The Armenia-based IUNetworks company provides integrated hardware and software solutions, facilitating interaction with government agencies and minimizing the administrative burden for economic operators.
The cooperation between the Government of Zimbabwe and IUNetworks launched in early 2022 after the company won the competition for the development of a new tax system for the Republic of Zimbabwe announced by the African Development Bank.

Aram Mkhitaryan, Chief Executive of IUNetworks, said their specialists have already had business trips to Zimbabwe, and this is the first official visit of the partner party to Armenia.
“More than 10 years ago our company developed Armenia’s tax information system. The tax information system is one of the most important systems for any state, because it is a connecting link for other systems.
Toward African market
Aram Mkhitaryan noted that the Zimbabwean delegation was also presented the experience of introducing other electronic management systems by both IUNetworks and other partner organizations.
“There are quite a few companies that develop tax information systems and have that experience in the world, while our company, after Armenia, introduced such a system in Tajikistan as well. Currently works on developing the Kosovo tax information system are underway, we have also done a great work in Bhutan. This meeting is also important for our company in terms of entering the African market. We are sure that after the successful completion of the program, it will be quite easy to introduce our systems in other countries of the region,” IUNetworks CEO said.
Continuous cooperation
The Zimbabwean delegation included not only representatives of the tax inspectorate, but also officials from the Central Bank, the Ministry of Finance, the President’s Office, etc. Representatives of Armenian state bodies also attended the event.
“The involvement of representatives of state bodies in our delegation speaks about how important this visit is for us. It is aimed at creating solid foundations for relations with the IUNetworks company, ensuring development and continuity. There are other systems that we are interested in and would like to introduce them in our country too. Among them are, for example, criminal processes and road traffic management systems,” he said, adding that the strategy adopted by the Zimbabwean government is to achieve full automation and digitization of management systems within the next 10 years.
