Hong Kong-based Computer and Technologies Holdings (C&T) has been awarded an eight-year contract to build and service a new information technology (IT) system for the Land Registry worth almost HK$150 million.

The system is meant to consolidate the registry's IT infrastructure, reduce the use of paper records and allow for online database searches.

Ng Cheung-shing, C&T chairman and chief executive, said the registry used a combination of computer and paper systems for registration and record-keeping.

Internet access to records was previously not possible because there was no centralised database.

The new IT system will support a revision of the Land Registry's registration procedures to secure interests in land and property.

Nine district registration offices operate on a system designed almost two decades ago, and keep separate records, not all of them digital.
