India’s department of posts (DoP) is set to spend up to $1 billion on its IT-led business revamp over the next five years. DoP has already short-listed Accenture, Ernst &Young , KPMG, McKinsey and PwC as potential consultants for the project, DOP will be announcing one of the above mentioned consulting biggies as the partner for selecting a tech vendor and also defining the scope of 3-5 year IT revamp by end of this month. DoP will select different vendors for system integration, software , data centres and network management.
ET reports “DoP’s IT revamp is a classic example of old, legacy systems and software applications being unable to cope with rising operational pressures and newer business models. The department has been using software applications such as Meghdoot developed in-house for over a decade. With the government seeking to evolve DoP as a well diversified services provider offering postal, insurance and financial solutions across remote parts of the country, there is a need to upgrade the systems”.
