Think Lands, Immigration, AG, Police with their own un-connected ICT budgets then you will begin to see the need to harmonize at some level - as long as you dont kill the speed at which some ministries/ depts may wish to move.<br><br>walu.<br><div><br></div> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif;
