Small and Medium Enterprises Development Authority (SMEDA) is going to be completely transformed into a paperless organisation within three months. According to the Authority's spokesman, a process to upgrade the information technology at SMEDA head office has been initiated, which will be completed within next three months. The hardware and software to be added up in this regard would enable the entire organisation to process documentation within the organisation through internet leaving no room for submission of hard copies around.
A software-based Document Management System (DMS) is being introduced for this purpose, which will provide all of the required facilities for scanning and forwarding the notes along with annexure for having approvals from the relevant competent authorities. Hence, the DMS will eliminate need of personal appearance of the staff before each other as well as the competent authorities for seeking approvals, which would be economical as well as time efficient.
Similarly, the present management has decided to introduce the facility of video conferencing for the first time in the organisation, which will drastically reduce the heavy cost of TA&DA, which is incurred on movement of regional employees to attend the meetings to be held at head office and vice-versa.
