The Technical Infrastructure (TI) and the Client Information System (CIS)
are the most significant information technology (IT) initiatives being
taken by the department. The TI involves a corporate-wide network to support
deployment of IT applications and joined-up initiatives. The CIS will
provide a workflow-based database which collects and shares client data
across the department for operational, management and planning purposes.
At year-end, Lotteries Fund grants totalling about $202 million had been
approved for implementing 27 IT projects in the department and a number
of NGOs. The scope of these applications includes the development of Core
Applications in Human Resource Management and Financial Management as
well as the development of a management information system, a knowledge
management system, eServices through websites, and a digital voice library
for the blind and visually impaired. |
