General News of Monday, 6 November 2017Source: classfmonline.comGhana saved GHS160m opting for Vokacom – BawumiaVice-President Dr Mahamudu BawumiaVice-President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has said the $2.5million (GHS9.9million) GhanaPost GPS digital addressing application developed by local IT firm Vokacom saved Ghana GHS160million since there were bids as high as GHS170million. In fact, from the prices quoted by the international main supplier of the digital address systems all these countries have spent at least three times more than Ghana for their digital property address systems. The NDPAS is a national database system that provides the digital address for every landed property in Ghana. None of the digital address systems in the world focus on local relevance in the same way that the GhanaPostGPS platform does. A digital address system complete with postcodes that reference surveyed data is totally unheard of in the world!
