AP-Wipro signs MoU to establish APSEA
Hyderabad: The Andhra Pradesh Government and Wipro on Monday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to build and implement AP State Enterprise Architecture in the State.
The Andhra Pradesh State Enterprise Architecture (APSEA) aims to be a lever for transformational change in the way government services are conceived, designed, delivered and consumed. The vision of the State of Andhra Pradesh is to use e-Governance as a tool to provide integrated services to its citizens through a free flow of information, according to B Sreedhar, Secretary to AP Government.
The APSEA is an essential first step to achieve the vision of the State of Andhra Pradesh. It intends to make the State Government future-ready by changing from departmental stovepipes to a citizen-centered approach to government services achieved through transformation of the front, middle and back office operations.
The APSEA necessitate collaborative working and information sharing between departments, forming a virtual / digital network of departments organized around citizen services and their outcomes. APSEA shall follow a multi-level approach to account for different layers of government bodies.
To ensure relevancy and pragmatism, government services will be taken up progressively, based on their priority. These services representing the business of government will be analyzed for inter-departmental linkages, for information, digitization and infrastructure requirements. Service delivery will be supported by collaboration between departments in terms of information flow, application interaction and common infrastructures. Services will be evaluated for actual outcomes, rather than outputs.
Advanced countries like South Korea, Singapore, the United States, Estonia, Norway, Denmark, Australia and New Zealand have already embraced a holistic architectural approach to e-governance.
Hence, to build and implement APSEA in the State of AP, the MoU was signed between Government of AP and Wipro, which would be engaged for a period of two years in this regard, said Sreedhar.
