Summary of Major PCS Projects & Products  

Value Added Tax (VAT) Project 
At the first phase Harvard Institute of International Development (HIID), USA had designed and developed the VAT system for Nepal under the financing from USAID. PCS was involved at a later stage for coding and implementation. The software has been developed in Foxpro for Windows on Windows NT LAN system. The system is able to handle bilingual (English, Devnagari scripts) inputs/outputs. The system was initially envisaged as centralized system at VAT department. The system is currently being implemented and run by PCS for the last 18 months. The implementation of the system has been funded by DANIDA (Danish Dev. Agency) 

PCS has expanded the system to work from 17 district VAT offices outside VAT Department spread all over the country, as a distributed system. With this expansion, district offices are able to enter their own data, and get their local office data from their own office. The daily transactions are sent to the head office using email and integrated with the national database on a daily basis. The use of email with file attachments has been done in order to take care of unavailable proper infrastructure outside Kathmandu valley at an economic rate. 

Visualizing the weakness of Foxpro like Database tools for such a massive national database and looking for more reliable and sustainable DBMS, DANIDA has now given the responsibility of redesigning and developing the VAT system for Nepal to PCS with client-server architecture on ORACLE 8 platform. PCS is using Designer 2000 and Developer 2000 in designing and developing the application. One system designer from PCS has obtained authorized training from Oracle Corp, India on Designer 2000 in this regard. Use of virtual private network (VPN) has been envisaged for the data communication backbone. The new project is undergoing testing stage.
