It was developed by the National Informatics Centre (NIC) to help achieve the Government's objective of Governance with Accountability, Transparency and Innovation. It provides for users to create and manage electronic documents in the workflow, along with versions (tracking history) that can be easily viewed, searched, shared, and published.

Implementation Methodology
The eOffice implementation methodology involves a structured process managed by the Centre for e-Governance (CeG). Departments initiate the process by submitting an onboarding request which is diarized and assigned to an Executive Coordinator. The coordinator provides a demonstration of eOffice and collects necessary documents including the Nodal Officer letter and Employee Master Data (EMD). Training follows with a focus on familiarizing master trainers and users with core modules like file management receipt creation and MIS reports. After departmental approval CeG ensures the setup of instances mapping of Nodal Officers and file head configuration. Network connectivity such as KSWAN or WebVPN is facilitated where needed. The project manager oversees training coordination report submission and resource allocation. Continuous support is offered through dashboards tracking progress training attendance and feedback to ensure smooth implementation. The methodology emphasizes thorough planning phased onboarding and active stakeholder involvement to drive successful eOffice adoption across Karnataka?s government departmentsImplementing Agency Details
