eGP system is not an off-the-self ready-made product, it
needs to be developed based on procurement methods, level
of bureaucracy, procurement culture.
Requirement of complying with the legal instrument (PPA
and PPR..), resulted extensive requirements of the
understanding of the Acts and Rules by the developers (SRS)
Requirements are not always correctly understood and
requires a lot of reworks or revisit the source codes for fixes .

Thorough need for detection of bugs and fixing or debugging
need for thorough checking of program logic.
Several unnoticed bugs warrant for more insight thinking on
the program logic and lead to change for better resultsCRs
Huge review requirements calls for time, human resources
and patience.
Some bugs require fixing in the production environment
which may lead to loss of confidence among the user and
create mistrust.

Ensuring password security in the operation is of high needbut careless users sometimes operate carelessly threateningthe security.
Workflow management knowledge and skills of PEs and usersskills to operate users functionalities is of prime importancebut weaknesses are observed.
Tremendous need of eGP training for the users calls forhuman and monetary resources.
Difficulties in customizing manual STDs incorporating the eGPneed: development of eSTD
