Perfect Business Systems and Silverlake Consortium was chosen out of the total of 10 companies and joint venture responded to the tender by the October 19, 2011 deadline.<\/p>\n

After the deal between SSNIT and Perfect Business Systems and Silverlake Consortium was sealed in 2012, the cost of the project increased by about $32million.<\/p>\n

The increase was attributed to the procurement of additional equipment including servers and flash drivers and headsets.<\/p>\n
