Benefits and Impact

Implementation Methodology

  • Defining the scope of services that must be aggregated
  • Designing open standards based, scalable (cloud hosted), modular/loosely-coupled, secure and preferably open-source stack
  • Laying out the integration processes with minimal support from target departments

  • Capacity building and awareness creation among the stakeholders
