Cidco launches two major digital initiatives

In line with Maharashtra government's vision to spread digitization and to bring in transparency, Cidco has launched two major digitization initiatives.
The development authority launched official email service for its employees. This service will enable Cidco officials to communicate on email from anywhere on the internet, an official release from Cidco said today.
Additionally, as part of integrated business solution, Cidco launched it's SAP HCM (Human Capital Management Module). The HCM module shall cater to the Personnel Department's activities and shall bring in employee records under central administration, said the release.
The system shall allow online application for leave, LTA and medical reimbursement for its employees. Cidco will also switch over to its SAP based payroll system from February 2017, replacing the age old FoxPro based payroll management system, said the release.

A Disaster Recovery Centre at Bengaluru has also been launched. After this launch Cidco shall rollout other SAP components like procurement, engineering, finance and estate management which will enable citizens to avail various online services from the development authority's portal without visiting Cidco offices, said the release.
Vice Chairman and Managing Director, Bhushan Gagrani, speaking on the occasion, emphasized the need to have a common communication platform and the email service will help Cidco officials work efficiently.
He said the launch of common employee database, automation of various orders will save a lot of time of the department and increase efficiency.

Gagrani added that SAP implementation will help Cidco to seamlessly integrate its various business processes and provide improved visibility across the enterprise and hence asked his departmental heads to gear up for the entire solution roll out quickly.
