Annotation: The processes of digitalization make impacts on society at different levels, including the level of international economic integration. There is no common understanding of how to manage these processes, and we can see fundamentally different approaches in this field. However, it is obvious that in the new conditions the most important resource for social-economic development is data. The main aim of this paper is to analyze a range of quite interesting initiatives on information systems development proposed at the last Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit, which was held in Singapore in late April 2018. We also considered important to pay special attention to the "ASEAN Single Window" and the " ASEAN Smart Cities Network" projects and set a discussion on the negative impact of the digital divide to them. We conclude that this meeting has demonstrated there are political will and desire to actively join the processes of regional integration not only in Singapore but also in other ASEAN members, although limited economic resources often do not allow them to implement such plans.
