SAP partner Highbar Technologies, based in Mumbai, has deployed SAP e-governance solutions at the Goa State Pollution Control Board (GSPCB).
GSPCB had a vision to achieve paperless governance, which was brought to life through Highball’s e-portal Sustainable Workflow Platform, through which all approvals will be facilitated online.
By helping the Board to be more efficient, this major digital initiative will ensure paperless and transparent governance, reducing unnecessary delays, and making the process more seamless.
“It is a proud moment for us as we are the only government department to go paperless after the Legislative Assembly of Goa,” said Jose Manuel Noronha, chairman, GSPCB. “This initiative is a major leap towards our commitment of making the board more accountable and approachable for the residents of Goa. By discarding the paper-based system we are also doing our part in saving trees from being cut as unnecessary paper use leads to wastage.”
Salish Pendse, president, Highbar Technologies said the GSPCB SAP implementation demonstrates the company’s success in the government vertical.
“Paving the way for e-governance at the Board comes as a true testimony to our practice of treating IT deployment as a business transformation initiative. The Goa State Pollution Control Board’s support has been very encouraging to achieve this remarkable feat. We are sure the deployment of SAP and this initiative will motivate other State Pollution Control Boards and government offices adopt a digital transformation journey,” Pendse said.
The Goa State Pollution Control Board oversees waste management, and monitoring and control of air and water quality in the small Indian state of Goa.
