The document provides an analysis of Bangladesh's e-Government ERP (GRP) pilot project. The GRP project aims to automate business processes across 10 government organizations, consisting initially of 9 modules including meeting management, asset tracking, inventory, and HR. Successful implementation of the pilot project will allow other government organizations to utilize the software with minimal customization. The goals of GRP include establishing transparency, reducing costs, and developing local ICT skills while working toward a digital Bangladesh. An implementation timeline is provided, with initial modules rolling out in January 2020 and completion planned for September 2020.
