An official of Ministry of Information Technology told that security of the data hosted on PTCL’s servers would not be an issue as the application is 128 bit encrypted and only less-secure files will be placed on the servers.
PTCL, in which the government holds 76 percent shares, has one of the largest data centres in the country.
Electronic Government Directorate (EGD), which was established in October 2002 in pursuance of a decision of the federal cabinet, will be active again for successful implementation of the project.
The EGD laid dormant for all these years as nobody in the previous government took any step. Minister of State for Information Technology Anusha Rahman seems determined to implement many of the important projects including e-government, issuance of 3G licences and installation of monitoring equipment by Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) to stop grey trafficking. It is about time that the Electronic Government Directorate steps up its efforts. The Directorate had already done some good work by implementing a number of projects for automation of offices in the public and private sector.
Some of the completed projects include online processing of Hajj applications and Status Tracking for arrangements for Hujjaj, automation of Prime Minister Office, e-Enablement of Senate and National Assembly of Pakistan, E-service for submission of documents at Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan, automation of Estate Office, development of Urdu Lexicon, Machine Translation and Text to Speech Software for Urdu Language, Online Access to Statutory Case Laws at District Bar Associations, Automation of Patent Office, Karachi, E-Enablement of Press Clubs, Salary Disbursement through ATMs, IT Skills Training Programme for Probationary Government Officers, Process Mapping for improving efficiency of Ministry of Science & Technology, installation of LAN and implementation of Mail Tracking and Internal E-mail System at seven Federal Government Divisions, IT Technical Support to Provinces and AJK and developement of PPHI Website.
