Dear colleagues,
It gives me immense pleasure to update you about the
ambitious IT Modernization project of the Department of Posts. As you know, with
this project we have embarked upon a transformational journey. I take this
opportunity to congratulate and thank each one of you for your dedication and hard
work to bring about this historic transformation.
At this point in time, we have already networked close to
23,000 locations, making our the largest WAN in the country. Implementation of
our Core Banking System and PLI solutions have attained a critical mass, which
will enable us to undertake performance testing & certification before
further roll outs. Core SI solutions relating to Mail Operations, Human
Resources and F&A are in the UAT stage; and we are nearing identification
of a vendor for the Rural Hardware program to support the modernization of our
rural post offices.
Implementation of the CBS and Core-PLI solutions has been
gradual by design so that we can pinpoint errors/ defects in the solutions and
address them appropriately, before graduating to an exponential roll-out phase.
As expected, officers and staff are facing some challenges during the initial
implementation phase. While we continue to strengthen the solutions based on
these valuable experiences, the extra mile that you all have traversed in order
to manage these challenges is commendable.
As the implementation gathers steam, I would request each
one of you to keep up the energy & commitment you have demonstrated so far.
We will make sure that the required technical and administrative support for
success is made available.
The primary objective of the IT modernization project has
been to enhance customer, satisfaction through better service delivery. The
project will enhance the Post Offices capabilities, and enable it to deliver
more efficient services, and more add-on services & products. Hon’ble Prime
Minister of India has also urged the Department to fast-track the
IT-modernization project and improve the quality of service. Thus, being
sensitive and responsive to the customer is the need of the hour.
You will agree that it is a matter of great pride for each
one of us to be associated with this huge transformational project. We must now
work hand in hand to make this historical transformation happen quickly.
Together we can, and we will do it!!
Kavery Banerjee
