National Association of Software and Service Companies (NASSCOM) would launch its e-governance portal 'egovreach' this July to enable companies connect with each other, a top official said here today.

There were discussions on asking larger companies to outsource 20-30 per cent of their work to smaller companies.

"Instead of forcing a company, they should be made to come on their own," NASSCOM President Som Mittal told reporters here.

"For taking up this initiative we would be putting out an e-governance portal 'egovreach' by July this year, where we will encourage anyone who can offer solutions for e-governance or into hardware or software services," he said.

"Companies can register on the portal and we will link up the website with state governments. For example, if a company in Chennai has developed great solutions that are valid for a company in Rajasthan they can connect through this website," he said.

NASSCOM was engaged in the process of reviewing the procurement policies as prescribed by the Centre, he said.

"We are in the e-governance space. In the next two months we will complete a major exercise of reviewing the government's procurement polices. They have a problem with us and we have a problem with them. We have not sat down together to solve the issue," Mittal said.

"We are discussing this issue across the nations and hope that in the next two months we will complete the major exercise," he said.

Earlier, inaugurating a seminar on "NASSCOM EMERGEOUT CONCLAVE 2010", Mittal asked state governments to urge the Centre to extend the benefits offered to IT companies located in the special economic zones (SEZ).
