LTO ready to implement LTMS

MANILA, Philippines — The Land Transportation Office is ready to fully implement its Land Transport Management System (LTMS), which would provide better services to the public transacting with LTO offices nationwide.

In a memoramdum dated Nov. 22, the LTO’s Management Information Division said a full transition and utilization of the LTMS would enable the agency to control information technology systems and secure independence from private IT system suppliers.

The LTMS had been installed by the German-led joint venture group of Dermalog Identification Systems Inc. and Holy Family Printing Corp.

The previous IT system used by the agency, which is being pushed for retention by LTO chief Vigor Mendoza, was privately owned.

The LTMS is owned and fully controlled by the LTO.

“By transitioning to LTMS, we regain control and independence over our system, ensuring greater data security, privacy and flexibility in managing our operations,” the LTO’s IT experts said.
