DiSCiP is coming alive!

Well... At least a small part of it...

Remember my idea of DiSCiP, put forth on this blog in 2007 and subsequently passed onto a friend in IDA, to streamline interaction/transactions between SINGOV and citizens/businesses through a dedicated online platform?

IDA is finally calling tender for something along those lines...

Not as comprehensive as what I have envisaged. Neither does it sound as comprehensive as what the UK is attempting to build (announced in Mar 2010). It sounds like a government matters only email account for citizens and businesses. Nonetheless, it is a start.

"As part of a revamp of its eCitizen portal, the agency (IDA) is also to build in a secure inbox for consumers and businesses to access all Government-related correspondence."
