I wish this story about

I wish this story about egov initiatives in India was a little more detailed (anyone have a better source for info?), but it does support my continual contention that it is possible for "third world" governments/economies to leap frog over the industrial age into the information age and become strong precences. A government like India's has much more to gain by embracing eGov than most western nations, if only because they've got a wider gap between potential and the current reality. This IT park they mention in the article is an excellent way to begin providing services to those who'd otherwise never be able to interact with government, even if the government were e-nabled, because they personally wouldn't have access to the technology to egage in that interaction. It sounds very exciting, but I'd really love to read more about this.

We are an ICT organization based in Chennai, India. We have developed a web enabled, platform independent paper-less office solution using open source technology. The tool called "e-Administration" has been satisfactorily installed in Electronics Corporation of Tamil Nadu (ELCOT), a Govt. of Tamil Nadu Undertaking for ushering in e-Governance in the State of Tamil Nadu, India.

We have also implemented a customised "e-Platform" for the Industrial Guidance Bureau of Govt. of Pondicherry, India, integrating electronically 21 Departments including Municipalities and Panchayats.

We are prepared to support any Government or corporate in the world to introduce transparency and accountability leading to better governance, thereby resulting high customer satisfaction and customer retention, resulting high chances of survival and growth in these competitive days..
