Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) chose the consortium of ABM and SAP along with a reputed Systems Integrator to partner with MCGM in one of the most ambitious e-governance projects in India. The project has gone live in April 2007. This consortium has completed the work of implementation of SAP, covering almost 70% of the functioning of Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai. The scope would cover core functions like Finance, Materials Management, Project Systems, Human Resource, Funds Management, Plant Maintenance and Real Estate. Apart from this, it would also cover a specific Public Sector function i.e. Citizen Portal and Ward Management.
The initial value of this contract was US$ 10Mn, which includes engagement with MCGM for 5 years, after implementation during the term of the project. ABM has contributed substantially in bagging this order due to its reputation in e-governance (in the space of citizen services) sector in general, and proven track record of carrying out several successful projects in MCGM, in particular. The MCGM had followed a Quality Based Selection (QBS) procedure, similar to the one followed by World Bank. In such selection process, proven track record and capacity of the bidders are also specifically evaluated, along with costs quoted by the bidders.
ABM provided Subject Matter Expertise, software licenses and
entire post-implementation support to MCGM.
MCGM is stated to be the largest Municipal Corporation in Asia. Successful completion of this project will serve as a very important reference for further growth in this segment. It will also be very significant from the point of view of developing SAP implementation skills within ABM.
