Philippines' government office embarks on IT project

15.03.2006
The Philippines' Office of the Ombudsman (OMB) has shifted its computerization efforts into high gear after it awarded Fujitsu Philippines Inc. (FPI) the task of developing software applications that will strengthen the capacity of the OMB to investigate and prosecute corruption cases.

Financed by a grant from the World Bank-ASEM Trust Fund, the OMB and FPI will co-develop a Case Monitoring System (CMS) for the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) and a Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth (SALN) Database System.

The OMB awarded a contract of consulting services to FPI after it bested several foreign and local IT companies through competitive bidding and agreed to develop the CMS and SALN Database System in five months.
