Technology for Capturing data and analysis Organization are using different types of systems for

capturing, storing, and processing data For the purpose of analysis, data mining, online analytical

processing (OLAP), visualization and other reporting toolscan be used to create better decision support environment

Modernization Plans for utilities Information system will help to devise better plans for

augmenting & modernizing the public utility systems. Operations management tools such as replacement algorithm,assignment algorithm, queuing models etc can be

incorporated in the information systems for assessingfeasibility/ economic analysis of modernization plans.

Public Expectations With the revolution of I.S. it has become easy for the people to know

what is happening across the globe. Success elsewhere raises the bar of expectation. It puts more

pressures on the project managers to bring better transparency and

accountability Local Political compulsions

Local political compulsions are sometimes vehicle of growth and on theother hand in some cases obstacles for growth

These compulsions/ interventions can be quantified for further analysis

to find out solution to the social problems. Past data about the impact of political compulsions if available, willimprove decision making process.

For example : Reduction in utility tariff is a political compulsions, tomake organization still financially viable, analysis of impact will behandy to mobilize resources from other resources.

Plans of Social Services & Economic Interventions In India many new plans are top down approach and are not bottom up

driven. For example free electricity, free irrigation facilities, mid-day meals etc.

These services in some cases are part of political agenda of political parties.Some of them are implanted and other remains on the papers for records.

In addition free services have no value in the mind of beneficiary. If thedata is made available to the planners, implementing agencies and all thestakeholders in the value chain by using I.S., the new plans may be moresustainable.

Stake Holders & Their Role One of the critical components of I.S. is its stakeholders. It includes

communities, implementers, government agencies, funding / donor agencies,planners and researchers, etc. If a centralized data base is created everyone canmake use of it.

In fact, it will result in collaborative system where everyone can getbenefits. For examples: comparison can be made among different agencieswho are implementing similar projects but in different places.

Lessons can be learned by documenting as electronics records the failureand successes of present an past interventions.

Future scope Creation of infrastructure to meet the future challenges for creating various

types of wealth to meet the needs of communities.

In future the new schemes that would come into picture can easily utilize

databases already made and can easily make an impactful existence and

delivery, Information systems will play the role of a communicator and act as bridge

between people, NGOs, CBOs, communities, politicians and the

government.

Identify information gaps and help the stakeholders in filling these gaps. Data bases will be input to various information systems including

information systems used to solve social problems at the grass root level

and can convert present intervention as a sustainable actions in the long

run.
