The Andhra Pradesh government has awarded the state wide area network (SWAN)
project to Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) valued at Rs 140 crore. The contract
will be based on the build-own-operate-transfer (BOOT) model that is typically
used in infrastructure projects for five years. SWAN project will allow the
Andhra Pradesh government to start and run various e-governance projects and
citizen services and is scheduled to be rolled out within twelve months. The
network will enable the state government to have videoconferencing facility
across government offices and also enable government offices to communicate and
conference with each other over VoIP . This will reduce communication expenses.
Various e-governance applications, such as RTO, healthcare, education,
municipality, will be on this network backbone. TCS has implemented e-government
projects such as NREGS, Arogyashri, APonline, and value added tax for the Andhra
Pradesh government in the past. Page(s) 1
