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.

Indian state rolls out telemedicine centres
The Orissa Trust of Technical Education and Training (OTTET) has announced plans to roll out telemedicine centres in villages across the state—the ninth largest in India.
The project aims to establish telemedicine centres in 51,000 villages covering the whole of Orissa within the next three years. The initiative will take modern healthcare delivery to the doorsteps of the rural populace and generate employment for educated youth in the state.
The project will be executed through a public-private partnership involving the Orissa state government and Sanjay Gandhi Post-Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGI), Lucknow.
The project aims to instil training and skills in IT-based health delivery. Orissa hopes the facilities will generate jobs for 100,000 health workers, and the same model could later be expanded to urban areas where there is high unemployment.
Telemedicine activities first began in Orissa in 2001, and this marks the latest stage in their roll out.
