ISLAMABAD: Minister of State for IT Anusha Rahman has said that the e-office suite will be a phenomenal achievement of the IT Ministry and the present government, as it will ensure efficiency, accuracy, effectiveness and good governance.

The e-office suite is the automation of core businesses of the government to bring transparency and accountability in decision making, and to provide an efficient and cost effective public service. Creating a paperless environment, the concept of digital governance will be promoted. The e-office suite consists of 6 modules. Initially it is being implemented in Ministry of IT, PM office, National Assembly, Secretariat, Ministry of Science and Technology, Finance Division, and Planning Division. Subsequently it will be implemented in all other Federal/Divisions in a phase manner and is expected to be complete by end of year 2014.

Rahman said: We are organising an e-office forum on May 14, 2014 at Pakistan Computer Bureau (PCB), where we have invited federal ministers/state ministers, secretaries/additional secretaries and focal persons of e-office suite from the federal government, in order to bridge the digital divide at the federal level.
