The National Information Technology Board has successfully completed the rollout of Beep IM at the National Assembly of Pakistan, marking a significant expansion of the government’s sovereign secure communication platform into one of the country’s most critical legislative institutions. User training sessions led by NITB under the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication are currently equipping National Assembly officials and staff with the tools and knowledge needed to adopt Beep IM as their primary platform for official communication and interdepartmental collaboration.
Beep IM is Pakistan’s government-developed secure instant messaging platform, built to provide ministries, divisions, attached departments, and government organisations with an indigenous alternative to commercial messaging applications for official communication. The platform is designed around the principles of digital sovereignty and data security, ensuring that sensitive government communications remain within a Pakistan-controlled infrastructure rather than passing through servers operated by foreign technology companies. As Pakistan advances its broader digital transformation agenda, the adoption of a sovereign communication platform represents a meaningful step toward reducing dependence on external platforms for government-to-government correspondence at all levels.
The rollout at the National Assembly is part of a wider push to standardise Beep IM across the federal government’s institutional landscape. NITB has encouraged all ministries, divisions, attached departments, and government organisations to onboard their teams onto the platform, establishing it as the unified official channel for secure communication and seamless collaboration across the public sector. The structured training approach, with NITB leading sessions directly for National Assembly users, reflects the authority’s recognition that successful technology adoption in government requires hands-on capacity building alongside platform deployment, particularly in institutions where digital tool usage has historically been uneven.
Government employees and focal persons at organisations interested in onboarding their teams onto Beep IM can contact NITB directly at beep@nitb.gov.pk. The expansion of Beep IM into the National Assembly builds on the platform’s earlier rollout across other federal government bodies and sits alongside a series of related digital governance initiatives that NITB has been advancing in 2026, including the Cabinet E-Portal for the Cabinet Committee on Inter-Governmental Commercial Transactions, the e-Filing and Office Automation System deployment across district administrations in Punjab, and the PakApp citizen services platform rebranding, all of which reflect the institution’s growing role as the backbone of Pakistan’s digital public administration infrastructure.
