Moreover, the States also took time to start the bidding process and finalise tenders for the SIs (System Integrators). Subsequent to the signing of contract with NCRB (National Crimes Record Bureau) and SDA (Software Development Agency, M/s Wipro) in June 2010, the assessment study for the requirements gathering, Design and Development of CAS (Core Application Software) got delayed and there was further delay caused due to multiple changes in the scope of work of the SDA.
