National e-payment software tested with 3 govt agencies

BANGKOK, 15 April 2016 (NNT) - CAT Telecom has launched a project to test a software which processes payments between the public and private sectors. Three state-run agencies participate in the project.

CAT Telecom has developed the software “PPB,” which stands for planning, performance and budgeting on its “IRIS” cloud. The software ensures that online transactions between the government and private sector are accurate, convenient, fast and safe.

The company has also fixed flaws found in the software and improved it to be more flexible.

The three state-run agencies in the pilot project include the Office of the Permanent Secretary for Finance, Krung Thai Bank and the Healthcare Accreditation Institute.

After that, CAT Telecom will provide the conclusions of its software test and make suggestions to improve the system further. The system will then be piloted to other government units.

Sure hope that this is not being "managed" by the people who did the Immigration 90 Day online report system !

I personally think the three most common used Thai government resources for the test should be, Electricity, Water and 90 day reporting.

These sites should also have an English version, pardon you were saying.....yes agreed, TIT.

While they are nose-poking about stuff which has been done and dealt with in other places like Hongkong, Singapore, Japan - don't mention the Western world ..........

As long as they have to employ thousands of unqualified Somchais and Daranees this country will inch backwards every day.

The entire system is sooooooo medieval and complicated ........

The professional world (i.e. the private industry) would love facilitating of i.e. the Social Security System (physically to be paid in at a bank counter) with manual "non-A4" forms to be completed by typewriter.

The upkeeping of licenses - for i.e. a restaurant being

• food license
• booze license
• local tobacco license
• imported tobacco license - yes, different license
• playing music in public places license
• signboard license and of course separate signboard tax

In the past these extensions were sent by mail and the licensee (i.e. private industry or - us) went to the post office (another efficient government agency), queued and paid.

No longer, now you have to physically visit all those offices, queue (in Laemchabang for booze license queueing 90 minutes), deposit an updated set of company papers in original (another government agency called DPD, queueing 2 hours).
The DPD allows internet access and ordering of forms (to be sent by EMS) after - and now it comes - you went to physically see Krung Thai's bank branch to pay in the fee of a few hundred Baht

Taxes and licenses have one thing in common - generate money into the state's coffers - which is fine by me. To keep a restaurant fully licensed you lose a full 10 man days; or four percent of one - able - staff's efficiency per year.
Creeping backwards in fifth gear while the rest of the region races forward.

Stone-henged forward to the past!

How did they manage to pipe the brown letters through a CAT-5 cable? Clever these Thai people.

OOPS, internet connection error,..... Refresh again and pay double,..
