The National Information Technology Board (NITB) developed the “Beep Pakistan” app for worldwide communication of government personnel.

According to Ministry of Information Technology authorities, personnel from all 41 federal agencies and ministries would be transferred to this programme for international communication. This application has a number of functions like as audio-video calling, document sharing, and video conferencing.
According to IT Ministry officials, this programme will initially be released on a private cloud. National Telecommunication Corporation’s hosting will be completed in three months. Beep Pakistan will first be available to 500,000 customers.
According to MoITT authorities, this platform will be an alternative to Facebook, WhatsApp, and other social media apps, and its use will protect government data.
