Islamabad: The federal government plans to launch 12 digital systems under its e-office project, a news source reported. These systems will help digitalise the operations of various departments to help improve their efficiency.
The National Information Technology Board (NITB) has begun work in this regard, and many projects are near completion. According to sources, the board will introduce a self-information management system for monitoring the implementation of decisions taken by the cabinet.
The system introduced by NITB will be responsible for follow-up and tracking of the implementation process. It will electronically send all pronouncements to the cabinet members and secretaries of the relevant ministries and divisions. Similarly, these individuals will also upload the implementation information and additional developments to the system, which will then forward it to all cabinet members.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan and the cabinet division will have access to the system’s dashboard. The PM, at his own discretion, will be able to check the implementation status of different cabinet decisions. He will be able to monitor their progress in real time. On the other hand, the cabinet division will also be able to provide the summary of their decisions on a real-time basis.
The NITB CEO revealed that in addition to the self-information management system, they were introducing:
