TCS & Wipro blessed by Tirupati
TCS and Wipro are among three companies vying to bag the prestigious Sri Seva Project of the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD) to provide IT solutions that will help devotees. Currently TTD offers four main e-services such as e-seva, e-accommodation, e-sudarshanam and e-hundi to the devotees and the Sri Seva project would help the administration in offering services. There are as many as 48 departments which need to be automated and brought under one platform for better services to pilgrims. The project is estimated to cost between Rs. 30 crore to Rs. 35 crore, with an additional maintenance cost of around Rs. 12 crore every year in the first phase. The phenomenal growth in the number of pilgrims visiting Tirumala has put constant pressure on all the systems, most of which are based on manual operations.
According to TTD, around 50,000 devotees visit Lord Balaji's main temple in Tirumala every day and on holidays and festivals, the figure crosses one lakh.
