Implementation Strategy: |
Most of the Departments do not have technical expertise and
resources for development of software and implementation of
IT projects. Therefore, the feasibility study, design, development
and implementation of an IT project should normally be outsourced
to an expert agency through an open bidding process. In case
the application is small and Department has the required trained
IT manpower, the implementation can be taken up at the Departmental
level. Ultimately, the concerned Department will be responsible
for implementation of the project.
Security
of the data is of paramount importance for a reliable and
stable administration. The Government of Punjab intends to
develop a security policy by engaging appropriate consultancy
firms for the purpose and implement firewalls around all major
databases. The security consideration would also be one of
the important factors while framing the specifications for
the application software development.
