Bangalore: L&T Infotech has completed the first phase of an e-governance project for the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), an institution affiliated to the Union Ministry of HRD, Government of India. As part of this project, L&T Infotech has set up Siebel CRM (Customer Relationship Management) modules and executed a comprehensive system integration network, including supply of the requisite hardware for PCs and networking equipment for their office in Delhi and 15 regional offices across the country. The project also includes a four-year support of the applications and hardware. L&T Infotech will be integrating payment gateways and biometric features in the e-governance solution. In addition to bringing visibility into the governance process, this project aims to enhance productivity and standardization by automating various approval and accreditation processes and work flows across bureaus and regional offices. "Implementing this project will help AICTE to improve the quality of education at a much faster pace. It will provide instantaneous information and status to all stakeholders on the criteria for accreditation of an Institution. It will also facilitate the process of making an online application for various approvals easier and thus will be more user-friendly," said Dr. S S Mantha, Acting Chairman, AICTE. During the next phase of this project, students would also be able to have a single window to genuine national academic institutions, thereby replacing the current multi-directional process, Mantha said.
