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.

Police stations in Indian state to go hi-tech
In a bid to make police stations more transparent and efficient, the Gujarat government is set to embrace a new computerised system—the Home Department Integrated Information Total Solution (HD-IITS)—in all police stations in the state.
A pilot project was launched at Dabhoda police station in Gandhinagar district on Friday (22 May). Secretary of Science and Technology Raj Kumar, Deputy Superintendent of Police Piyush Patel and officials from the Home Department were present to see the trial run of the system.
Mr Kumar said: “The HD-IITS project is the first of its kind in the country, under which all administrative and law and order related work at police stations will be done online. All officials will have an easy access to relevant data of police stations concerned, which will help them directly monitor the staff in the stations.”
Under the HD-IITS system, police stations will send their digitised data to the central server at the State Data Centre set up in Gandhinagar, which senior police officers will access and analyse on their PCs. The system is designed to help them monitor how police stations are functioning.
Kumar said that once the system is in place at all the police stations, it will not only help keep tabs on what goes on in police stations at the click of the mouse, but also provide online information on the real-time status of complaints sent to police stations.
This also means that the common man will be able to file online complaints related to petty incidents like drunken behaviour or traffic violation. However, it is still too early to say if people will be able to file their First Information Reports (FIRs) with the police stations, online.
Secretary (Home) T S Bisht said this e-governance project, when implemented fully, would greatly help reduce manual work at police stations.
