Infosys Government Services Distributed Application

Governments around the world are trusted with sensitive information of citizens that are currently stored in govt. agencies’ centralized database. Each agency / department is responsible for storing and maintaining an extraordinary amount of data, which becomes a problem over time. Citizens expect greater transparency and faster resolution to the service requests raised by them. But in reality, availing services from the government often becomes a cumbersome task for the citizens due to dependency on multiple agencies / departments, which act as non-integrated information silos. Resolution process becomes slower and incidents of public corruptions rise. A blockchain network, where government departments and institutions like banks, stock exchanges and corporates can share data, collaborate, digitize and automate workflows, can improve the scenario.

The actual experience of blockchain comes through multiple participants collaborating over a common network simultaneously. Hence, we have developed the Infosys Government Services Distributed Application, which can be manifested in the form of a ready-to-use network, so that citizens can access services from multiple departments in a seamless and transparent manner in a secured environment. Interested stakeholders (government departments and other private service providers) get on-boarded into this network, can collaborate and configure workflows, define the documents and validations required and offer their services through a single window.
