OPM: an initiative of ICT project and overall technical, managerial and policy making experience

A survey to determine the extent to which senior government officials would like to implement e-governance could be interesting. While most government officials will instantly reply affirmatively in favor of implementing e-governance, actual implementation experience contradicts this intention. From practical experience, we may conclude that only a few officers really want the successful implementation of e-governance. A reason for this fear by senior officials particularly in governments that lack transparency is that transparency is at the core of e-governance. In this paper we present OPM (Online Procurement Management) system, the challenges faced during its implementation and the way the project overcame these challenges. This paper could serve as good guideline for implementing ICT projects in general as it does not only address technical issues but also prescribe recommendations from the policy perspective.
