The National Information Technology Board (NITB) focuses on essential automation, design, development, and deployment of strong IT solutions to support the Federal Government’s e-governance culture.

The Federal Government’s Electronic Filing System (E-Office) has been effectively implemented by NITB in all 40 Ministries/Divisions.

This enormous assignment was assigned to Syed Hussnain Abbas Kazmi, Acting Executive Director, NITB, who not only implemented new solutions on time, but also organised multiple full-day Capacity Building Training seminars for E-Office users from all Federal Ministries and Divisions. The E-Office has not only saved the government millions of dollars, but it has also taken a significant step toward a paperless environment.

In the second phase, NITB will begin implementing E-Office in a number of federal ministries’ departments. Under the present leadership of the Ministry of IT & Telecom and NITB, the powerful e-Cabinet Portal has changed paper-based cabinet meeting procedures into a completely paperless environment through a secure digital system.

Since its most recent use, it has saved almost 70 million rupees. Following the Federation’s successful implementation of the E-Cabinet portal, the province governments of Baluchistan and Sindh have requested the same solution from NITB for their provincial Cabinets. By August 2022, NITB hopes to have completed its rollout in Sindh and Baluchistan.

The National Information Technology Board (NITB) has agreed to roll out a new version of E-office to all federal government divisions and enterprises under their jurisdiction.

The Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunications has suggested a new scheme list for this aim, which includes an E-office replication project for Rs. 350 million throughout all divisions of the federal government (MoITT).

The MoITT has recommended a budget of Rs. 75 million for the E-office Project Phase-II for the coming fiscal year. This project entails a long-term use of the existing E-office as well as the introduction of the new version in all federal government divisions and over 500 hundred departments.

Due to implementation challenges, the project was terminated on June 30, 2021. Only one of the six constituent modules, internal communication, has been implemented, while the remaining components, such as finance and budgeting, human resource, inventory and procurement, project management, and the internal portal, are still missing in all federal government divisions and allied departments.

According to the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunications, the federal government spent more than Rs. 2000 million on ICT infrastructure for the project’s implementation.

The previous administration established a group, chaired by the Cabinet Division Secretary, to assess the deployment, readiness, and adaption levels in federal ministries and develop a strategy for moving intra- and inter-ministerial communications to the E-office platform.

The committee met multiple times and presented its findings to the federal government in the form of recommendations. The NITB does not have any permanent or contract staff to carry out the project. Since August 2021, the project’s PC-IV has been in the cabinet division.
