C-DAC showcases e-governance expertise

PUNE: IT has come up with solutions for almost every e-governance need. More

than 22 odd products were on display at the two-day road show organized by

Pune's prestigious Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC).

The objective behind the show was to showcase its expertise and strength in

e-governance solutions and services. Representatives of C-DAC's Authorized

Training Centres (ATCs) in India and its business development groups were in

attendance for the road show for acquainting and understanding these

applications.

The ATCs are being promoted to C-DAC's e-governance applications more

vigorously on a national level. The road show thus sets to accomplish C-DAC's

objective of effectively teaming up its training infrastructure with development

marketing through the integration of its business development groups with the

ATCs.
