Rs.3.2 bn project to enable digital ecosystem

The government is implementing a Rs.3.2 bn project for five major ports in order to provide a digital port ecosystem. These ports are Mumbai, Chennai, Deendayal, Paradip and Kolkata (including Haldia), according to a document from the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways. An enterprise business system (EBS) is being implemented to provide a digital port ecosystem. The enterprise business system (EBS) will adopt international best practices without losing its alignment to existing local needs. A total of 2,474 processes were rationalised, harmonised, optimised and standardised to arrive at a final re-engineered process count of 162 processes, the document said.
