Motor Vehicle Enterprise Solution (MOVES) addresses the needs of financially constrained state and local governments to move into the future with a proven software platform that not only delivers a better Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) customer experience but also reduces the risk of implementation, Mahindra Satyam said in a statement.

Commenting on the development, Mr. Arvind Malhotra, Senior Vice President, Strategic Accounts, Mahindra Satyam said, In many states, the DMV was the first government agency to embrace citizen-facing, computerized functionality, and today jurisdictions often have a hard time keeping up with higher transaction volumes, delays and longer lines at the DMV office. Our partnership with Microsoft has enabled us to develop a low-risk approach to modernize with the reliability and sophistication of an established software platform.

Commenting on the development, Andy Pitman, a director in Microsoft's Public Sector Industry Solutions organization said, Today's government IT solutions need to provide responsive services to citizens while balancing the financial realities of state and local governments. We are pleased to have Mahindra Satyam maximize the inherent value of the Microsoft Dynamics CRM platform, which will enable DMV agencies to enhance their service to licensed drivers and vehicle owners.
