Bhubaneswar: In a major push for transparency, efficiency and technology-driven governance, the Works Department Wednesday launched Contractor Database Management System (CDMS) 3.0, marking a key milestone in contractor management reforms in the state. Building on this foundation and factoring in future needs, the platform has now been upgraded to CDMS 3.0, featuring a modern technological architecture and an enhanced operational framework. “CDMS 3.0 will serve as a centralised digital repository, housing comprehensive contractor data, including personal and firm details, licences, certificates and performance records. The platform features workflow management tools, analytical dashboards, Management Information System (MIS) reports and seamless integration with other government systems,” officials said. With the launch of CDMS 3.0, the Department has taken a decisive step towards creating a more transparent, efficient and technology-enabled infrastructure ecosystem in Odisha.
