Open-source is similar to PPP in the sense that our business development model requires partnerships. Technology plays a small role – the bigger issue in e-governance is that of building viable business models. As an open-source technology we approach the companies which are involved in e-governance, as it could bring down the capital expenses. This would be  great boost to a project's viability.

The technology is of little consequence to the beneficiaries, what matters more is the service it delivers - all applications of the technology to be delivered.As a citizen I am not concerned by the technology used, I want all the services it facilitates.

An urgent need is the identification of the right players and the right model before a project is initiated.
