The National Institute of Smart Government (NISG) and IBM India have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to promote e-Governance at the national level.
This move will help India to develop different e-Government applications using open standards and IBM's e-Governance Frameworks. Under the MOU, IBM will provide NISG with technology and services that will enable the government to better serve individuals or organisations, and to promote partnerships between the government and private enterprises in implementing e-Governance projects.
IBM will share with NISG its e-Governance Framework, which is based on platform independent, open source and open standards technologies including Linux. The Framework, which IBM developed as a result of numerous engagements with governments around the world, combines IBM's services, offerings, research and experience.
