Andhra Pradesh Government is working with software giant Wipro to develop State Enterprise Architecture (APSEA) which will create a digital repository of state’s data and also work with all departments on its vision.
During a meeting with Wipro executives at Secretariat in Hyderabad today, state chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu told them about his meeting with Wipro chairman Azim Premji and the company’s chief strategy officer Rishad Premji at the World Economic Forum at Davos recently.
The APSEA project has been kickstarted following Naidu’s meeting with Aziz Premji.
“APSEA is an all-encompassing framework for prioritising, mapping out game-changing strategies, integrating various departments and service and delivering outcomes as a result of implementation of government’s vision, seven missions, five
grids and five campaigns,” according to a statement from Chief Minister’s Office.
IT Advisor J Satyanarayana informed Naidu that the project would be carried out in two phases wherein phase one includes
primary domain departments that are linked to social welfare while phase two the secondary domain departments.
For this, the IT Department is working with the Planning Department to obtain data.
The department will soon hold a “Vision Workshop” as the part of phase 1 of the project with all secretaries of the department and explain how APSEA will work.
As part of this, a welfare group will be working with departments to gather data and create an e-locker which will have a repository of data of every citizen in the state and their socio-economic profile, Aadhaar details, education, benefits he/she is availing from the government etc.
The primary focus of APSEA will be to improve social indicators through the Welfare Group which has categorised services in three sets – A, B and C.
To increase efficiency through APSEA, the IT department will use technologies such as SMAC (Social, mobility, analytics and Cloud), Big Data and also ensure cyber security.
Stating that he wants to improve efficiency by 30-40 per cent, the chief minister said APSEA will bring in a systematic process of working on projects with an integrated approach and will also work for future.
“I am confident that technology in eGovernance will lead to 2-3 per cent of growth rate because it will ensure transparency and weed out corruption,” he added.
The chief minister asked Wipro to guide government officials on using existing resources and setting up a dedicated team for the project to finish this within a defined time-frame.
“This will not only bring in transparency but also reflect public satisfaction,” he added.
