China will launch a national enterprise informatization quotient (EIQ) to promote IT applications in business.

The EIQ, an index to measure the application level of information technology among enterprises, will be used for ranking the top 100 electronic companies beginning from next year.

"We are collecting opinions from governmental departments, experts and enterprises on the composition of indices that can be adopted in the system, and the preliminary survey will soon start, " Jiang Qiping, deputy director of the National Information Evaluation Center, said Tuesday on a forum promoting informatization.

He said the key indices will be set this year and surveys in some pilot enterprises will also be finished.

While the national organization is still studying the way to conduct EIQ evaluations, local governments have begun to put it into practice on a trial basis.

Yu Xuelin, deputy director of the information working office of Tianjin Municipality, said Tianjin had selected 20 enterprises to conduct a survey on the scale of IT applications in their operations and management.

The municipality will expand the survey to 300 to 500 manufacturing businesses next month and will eventually include all enterprises in the city.

Enterprises also placed high hopes on the establishment of a national EIQ system.

"The release of EIQ will provide us a good source to judge the potential of our market," said Arthur Chang, managing director of U.S. domain name registry provider VeriSign's Asia Pacific operations.
