Dear Comrades,
India Post Gets a Web Experience – Looking Beyond NIC [$1Bn Put To Use?]Indian Postal Department has done something radically different that probably no Indian government organisation has ever thought of, they got a clean website. They actually got a very stylist website with a virtual experience. Check out here (http://www.epostoffice.gov.in). Though it’s the same utility as earlier but the whole experience is very web2.0.
The website is not fully functional yet and this is just preview. But whatever we can see, it looks great. IndiaPost had appointed McKinsey for a complete revamp and it seems to be paying off. The total revamp budget for Indian Postal department is said to be $1Bn over 3-5 yrs (from Aug 2009). Meanwhile, they have a twitter presence, indiapost.nic.in is down and Indiapost.gov.in is too messy.
It took an external agency like McKinsey to make them dare to think beyond the NIC?

Post Office of India is all set to take a technology leap by making many of their postal products available on the Internet. In a recently revamped website (www.epostoffice.gov.in) users can access services like tracing and tracking packages, electronic money orders, instant money orders, philately and other regular feedback features.
Logging into the website brings up a 3D model of a post office with pointers to access various services. Clicking on a service gives you a snazzy 3D tour of the post office. We just hope the services on the site work as beautifully as they are presented.
