| CEPT |
Globally, Information Technology is the backbone of
Commerce, Industry and Public Service Delivery Systems. CEPT also transformed into
a Technology Hub over a short period of time. It became a unique example of realizing
the latent potentials in the human resource. Willing officials from the cadre of
Postal Assistants, Inspectors and Assistant Superintendents with IT skills coming
from various circles have made in-house contribution to the technology initiatives
of the Department.The group is constantly engaged in development and maintenance
of IT tools such as Meghdoot, SpeedNet, e-Payment and many more. Needless to say,
the asset value of CEPT Mysore purely in terms of software development and support
is immense.
Today, CEPT provides active support to the Department
in offering the products riding on technology backbone. It provides support to about
25,000 Post offices across the country using various software applications.
During the year 2008, the need for storing information at a Central location also became essential. Hence, a Data Center was established at the software development center at CEPT, acting as a repository of all the vital transactional data emanating from the Post offices across the Country.
CEPT also played a very crucial role in the Department’s most coveted ‘Project Arrow’ which later won the Prime Minister’s Excellence award 2008-09. Starting with collecting critical real transactional data for the 50 Project Arrow Post offices of Phase I, today CEPT picks up real transactional data from about 15,584 Post offices, processes it and supplies to the Project Arrow office. The monitoring based on micro information of each Project Arrow Post office helped in improving quality of services. The Centre has also assumed greater role in the “Mail Network Optimistion Project”.

Technology initiative is
never static. CEPT also had
to keep pace by upgrading the
existing products or introducing new products. This
has been taken care of by
periodical release of updates and process upgrades for
products and services by the
department. Not only this, in view of the massive IT
modernization project currently
undertaken by the Department, the CEPT is well aware
of its future role and
responsibility. Whereas, the potential of technology interventions
and IT tools are unlimited and
ever evolving, the main challenge comes in Technology
Management which calls for a
co-ordinated effort by one and all in the Department.
The CEPT in the years to come
will continue to play a significant role and have
a greater responsibility in
Department of Post’s endeavor to transform the Post
a truly IT enabled and Citizen
centric and act as a single window resource center
for all IT related activities.
