SIMNIC � Status Information Management system by NIC (ver 2.0)

Objective: Every department of Government has a need to collect the information about status
of projects from filed offices through various formats. With a view to provide speedy format
preparation and online collection of information and its management, NIC, Mumbai has
developed this package which is implemented on NICNET as an G2G package.

How it is achieved: A generic web-based module is designed & developed keeping in the view
the basic parameters of required formats. Administrator of the SIMNIC generates an ID and
gives administrator password for the format to be prepared. This ID & password is used for the
formation definition and its administration by the concerned department. Format Administrator
can give passwords for each of the reporting field office or a global password for user operator
can be used.

Future Scope:

1. Data Collection from tree like reporting structure


2. Simple Formulas for calculation such as %, Average, Maximum, Minimum
3. Analysis module to view the collected data with different search criteria and comparison
with old / cumulative data
4. Program availability at national level for collecting inter state (nation wide data)
5. Other languages support using ISM utilities/UNICODE
