Tax and Revenue Management: A government’s lifeblood
IT has provided the opportunities for governments to remodel the entire process of tax collection over the last decade. It is, however, a continuously evolving process and governments the world over need to constantly upgrade their tax systems to optimise their revenue workflows.
Unlocking Public Value
A recent SAP study confirmed that those organisations which adopt best practices in the areas of scope and adoption, process standardisation, technology and customer governance, do perform better, and do so as their best practice maturity increases.
Governments and Socialising
The advent of social media has seen governments hopping onto the bandwagon in a bid to further engage citizens.

Next generation data centres
Pankaj Sharma, vice president, sales and marketing, Asia Pacific and Japan, explains how APC meets the challenges of cooling and powering data centres.
With skyrocketing energy cost and the need for organisations to be socially and environmentally responsible, government agencies have a financial imperative to achieve an Efficient EnterpriseTM and the moral imperative to implement ‘green’ solutions especially for high energy consuming systems such as data centres.
This means that every power, cooling, and management component have to be re-evaluated to reduce energy wastage to a minimum, and explains why APC is pleased to be the sponsor of the Green Government category of the annual Government Technology Awards. APC recognises the importance of sharing best practice and supports the awards process as a means of acknowledging the efforts of government organisations in the region.
APC has taken a leadership position in offering unique and innovative solutions and services to design and build the industry’s most comprehensive and energy efficient data centers that can achieve up to 30 per cent of energy savings.
The company spends more than US$400 Million in R&D every year for the past five years, demonstrating its commitment to helping client organisations manage power and cooling better in a global environment that shows decreasing energy resources and environmental degradation.
The award-winning and patented InfraStruXureTM power and cooling architecture, for example, is now powering some of the largest data centers in the world
APC also offers the industry’s most advanced tools to measure and quantify as well as plan and manage the power and cooling challenges of today’s data centres. Comprehensive assessment services from APC evaluate and determine the health status and the energy efficiency of existing data center infrastructures, making it one of the few companies with such comprehensive range of services.
APC TradeOff Tools, a new web-based application with easy-to-use interfaces designed for use in the early stages of data center concept and design development, enable data centre professionals to experiment with various scenarios regarding virtualisation, efficiency, power sizing and capital costs.
APC is also a founding member of The Green Grid, a global consortium of IT specialists dedicated to developing and promoting energy efficiency in data centres and information service delivery. This reinforces the company’s leadership in and commitment to the management of energy and power usage in the data center space.
In Asia, APC is the first company to launch an energy efficiency solution center (EESC), demonstrating how APC can help enterprises, businesses and governments save energy costs by up to 30 per cent and future-proof their data centre investments. The EESC showcases how effective close-coupled cooling design is; how to use a containment system to ensure predictable airflow; and how to use capacity management software to ensure no surprises when it is time to add new servers or other equipment to the data centre.
With a strong foothold in Asia Pacific, and with an established heritage in power and cooling, APC is a trusted and reliable partner for mission critical data centre solutions.
