THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The government opted for purchasing a file processing software from the open market to avoid administrative standstill, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan informed the Assembly on Thursday.
The present software is faulty and it is delaying file processing in the Secretariat and instances of administrative standstill were reported. Agencies like the IT Mission, Keltron and State Data Centre had found that the present software is not up to the mark, the Chief Minister said.
The state government had floated tenders for purchasing a digital workplace solution on May 30. This is to equip all offices where e-office has been implemented, he said.
