Cloud Based E-Governance Solution: A Case Study

Abstract

The development authorities are facing an exponential increase in the information, and the management of storage and flow of this information is becoming difficult day-by-day, resulting in the definite need of the implementation of information technological tools to maintain the same. Many of the development authorities have implemented or in the process of implementation of IT for complete or partial functioning. Since the development authorities in the state are classified in A/B/C categories depending upon the size and functionality, the priority of the functional requirement also varies to match the budget of IT implementation. To cater the prioritized implementation, the complete application needs to be designed in a modular form consisting of multiple systems, which are individually a complete system in itself but may be integrated with other systems to form efficient information flow. Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) had three options: Both the IASP and the citizen portal are on-premise solutions, both the IASP and the citizen portal are on cloud, and the IASP is hosted on premise and the citizen portal is hosted on cloud. The primary aim of the case is to expose students to an infrastructure planning situation in an organization based on the requirements and resource constraints within an organization.
