Huge benefits of shared use or reuse of an application

Neel Ratan, Executive director, PwC talks about the J&K experiment

There are huge benefits of shared use or reuse of an application. We need to create a platform by sharing applications across states and departments to create a starting point for cloud to succeed. There are business benefits that we will get reusing an application, by making it available to millions others that don’t get the benefit of the service today. If you position in that context, I think, benefits are immense and the technology part is much easier. Let’s talk about the Jammu and Kashmir experiment. We ran that entire experiment. Three services were running successfully in Madhya Pradesh and it had taken 24 months to implement them in the state. They were replicated in Jammu and Kashmir in less than 45 days. The power of technology is immense.
