The eOffice product aims to support governance by ushering in more effective and transparent inter and intra-government processes. The vision of e-Office is to achieve a simplified, responsive, effective and transparent working of all government offices. The Open Architecture on which eOffice has been built, makes it a reusable framework and a standard reusable product amenable to replication across the governments, at the central, state and district levels. The product brings together the independent functions and systems under a single framework. e-Office aims at creating an office environment that minimizes the use of paper documents and files, and by streamlining office workflow helps reduce process delays. Its main objectives are:
- Enhance transparency – files can be tracked and their status is known to all at all times
- Increase accountability – the responsibility of quality and speed of decision making is easier to monitor.
- Assure data security and data integrity.
- Provide a platform for re-inventing and re-engineering the government.
- Promote innovation by releasing staff energy and time from unproductive procedures.
- Transform the government work culture and ethics.
- Promote greater collaboration in the work place and effective knowledge management.
