Introduction to E-Suvidha Project
Earlier, most of the municipalities in the state administered various functions in a manual
mode. However, some of the Municipal Corporations and a few municipalities had attempted
and adopted computerization of the key revenue generating modules in varying maturities,
albeit on a standalone basis, to meet their internal requirements.
Given the diversity of the functionality and platforms of the existing applications, it was
recognized that there was a need to develop a comprehensive and integrated solution that
C & DMA, Govt of Telangana
RFP – eSuvidha -Tender Document for Application Operations & Maintenance and AMC services
Page: 60 of 64
meets the requirement of the ULBs across the state and thereby provide an opportunity for an
“integrated view” of the data. The need was also stimulated by the fact that an integrated view
offered a better scope for management information and decision-making. While achievement
of process standardization and operational efficiency gains are reflected as a product of
integration it also helps in uniform structuring of base information such as property taxpayers
code, which was loosely structured. Hence the Department implemented the E-Suvidha
Solution to realize the envisaged vision.
1.4.1. E-Suvidha Application software
It is with above background the office of DMA has procured the following application
software through bespoke development.
Application Software Description
E-Suvidha The executive functions of the civic governance are carried out by the ULBs. These functions are similar in nature irrespective of the size of the ULB. Hence a common application software E-Suvidha covering all functions of ULB brings uniformity in the operations and provision of civic amenities
Municipal Management Information System (MMIS)
As DMA’s primary role is to ensure effective civic governance in the State, the department takes up the role of guiding, monitoring and supervising the ULBs. To achieve this objective, the MMIS at DMA captures the key parameters which would provide the DMA with effective Management Information System from all the ULBs, based on which the DMA would be in a position to take appropriate decisions in an integrated manner
Specifications for the E-Suvidha System
