It is proved that the implementation of modern information systems in the processes of regional public administration can significantly increase the accuracy and efficiency of management decisions, create conditions for simplifying the analysis of significant amounts of information, reduce the risks of leakage of confidential data. It has been substantiated that the digital transformation of the activities of local authorities is positioned as an integral component of the strategy for the development of territorial communities.
