Global Information Technology

Information Communications Technology (ICT) is a key enabler of a more economically, environmentally and socially sustainable world in the aftermath of one of the most serious economic crises in decades. The Global Information Technology Report 2010-2011 highlights the key role of ICT as an enabler of a more economically, environmentally and socially sustainable world.

Sweden and Singapore continue to top the rankings of The Global Information Technology Report 2010-2011, Transformations 2.0, confirming the leadership of the Nordic countries and the Asian Tiger economies in adopting and implementing ICT advances for increased growth and development. Finland jumps to third place, while Switzerland and the United States are steady in fourth and fifth place respectively. The 10th anniversary edition of the report focuses on ICT’s power to transform society in the next decade through modernization and innovation.

The Nordic countries lead the way in leveraging ICT. With Denmark in 7th and Norway in 9th place, all are in the top 10, except for Iceland, which is ranked in 16th position. Led by Singapore in second place, the other Asian Tiger economies continue to make progress in the ranking, with both Taiwan, China, and Korea improving five places to 6th and 10th respectively, and Hong Kong SAR following closely at 12th.

With a record coverage of 138 economies worldwide, the report remains the world’s most comprehensive and authoritative international assessment of the impact of ICT on the development process and the competitiveness of nations. The Networked Readiness Index (NRI) featured in the report examines how prepared countries are to use ICT effectively on three dimensions: the general business, regulatory and infrastructure environment for ICT; the readiness of the three key societal actors ? individuals, businesses and governments ? to use and benefit from ICT; and their actual usage of available ICT.

Under the theme Transformations 2.0, this 10th anniversary edition explores the coming transformations powered by ICT, with a focus on the impact they will have on individuals, businesses and governments over the next few years. Since the beginning of the report, the sheer amount of information generated by today’s digital society has increased at an astounding rate. In order to measure impact of ICT and this new data revolution, a new data sharing platform is also launched on the occasion of the report’s 10th anniversary to provide users with a set of tools to explore the impact of information and data technology on a range of socio-economic areas. The platform uses DevInfo’s database system and features a unique data visualization tool developed by public relations agency RuderFinn.

The Networked Readiness Index uses a combination of data from publicly available sources, as well as the results of the Executive Opinion Survey, a comprehensive annual survey conducted by the World Economic Forum with its network of partner institutes (leading research institutes and business organizations) in the countries included in the report. This survey of over 15,000 executives provides unique data on many qualitative dimensions important to assess national networked readiness.

E-payment to be promoted as key medium for economic transactions

 

Published on: Thursday, December 22, 2011-BERNAMA

Kuala Lumpur: E-payments will be promoted as a key medium for economic transactions and for more expedient, secure and cost effective means of moving funds, says Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM).
In the Financial Sector Blueprint 2011-2020 report, BNM said the growth in e-payments has been encouraging with notable growth registered across all e-payment methods.
E-payments usage per capita doubled from 22 in 2005 to 44 in 2010, with substantial growth in the usage of debit cards, which increased 8.2 times, Internet banking by 6.3 times and Interbank GIRO by 4.5 times.
"In the next 10 years, the Bank aims to increase the number of e-payment transactions per capita to 200 by end 2020, from 44 transactions, recorded in 2010 and reduce cheques by more than half, from 207 million, at present, to 100 million annually," it added.
BNM said measures would be undertaken to encourage switching from paper-based payments to e-payments and facilitating wider outreach of e-payments infrastructure, such as point-of-sale terminals and mobile phone banking.
"The Bank will continue to provide the necessary regulatory environment to drive the migration to e-payments agenda, enhance efficiency including initiatives that will derive cost savings for the country as a whole and contribute to the payment system stability.
"The benefits of migrating to e-payments is not only limited to financial efficiency gains as it also promotes a more eco-friendly environment," it said.
Besides promoting e-payments, a comprehensive approach to consumer protection and education will also be introduced in an effort to promote a culture of mutual responsibility shared between consumers and financial service providers.
"This includes the formulation of a new consumer credit law and targeted financial literacy programmes based on life events," it said.
The central bank will also ensure adequate supply of talent equipped to handle the complexities of the new landscape through a collaboration and coordination with parties beyond the financial sector.
"In this regard, a Financial Services Talent Council will be established to drive the financial sector talent development agenda and oversee and coordinate talent development efforts in the financial sector," it added. - Bernama

ICT is catalyst for innovation

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is an increasingly competitive nation in Asia Pacific and such development can be further accelerated through ICT (information and communications technology), said software giant Microsoft Malaysia.
"Exciting things are happening in Malaysia with the projects under the Economic Transformation Programme and ICT will be the catalyst for many of them," said Ananth Lazarus, Microsoft Malaysia managing director.
Microsoft, he said, will continue to support the country's innovative spirit through its many programmes and initiatives aimed at transforming lives, businesses, and the education sector.
To this end, the software vendor has launched various initiatives, such as organising the Imagine Cup competition to encourage students think up innovative ideas to solve the world's toughest problems.
It is also behind the BizSpark programme, which equips software startups with Microsoft development tools.
This has led to the setting up of local software companies, such as Israk Technology that is involved with online video production and Web Bytes which produces Xilnex, a cloud-based management software for the retail sector.
Microsoft has also equipped various non-governmental organisations with its software products under its Unlimited Potential programme.
This programme is targeted at narrowing the "digital divide" - the gap between the technology haves and have-nots.
Ananth was speaking at a press conference on the sidelines of the Microsoft Accelerating Asia Pacific Summit here. The event highlights how technology can be used to solve socio-economic problems in the region.
Parent company Microsoft Corp sees Asia Pacific as an epicentre of growth due to the region's growing number of talents and innovations.

Newer economies allow more high tech freedom at work

LONDON: Employees in fast-growing economies have more freedom over the technology they use for work than their counterparts in developed countries, and are more likely to see corporate provision of devices as a perk, according to a study.
The so-called consumerisation of IT - the migration into the workplace of technology that employees use at home - is a global phenomenon but far more pronounced in China and Brazil than in Britain, France and the United States, the study found.
While 59% of employees in China said they could influence the choice of device they used for work, in Britain the figure was just 27%, according to the survey by market research firm TNS commissioned by PC maker Dell.
Two-thirds of workers in China were keen to use the same device for work and personal use, but just 29% in Britain were happy to do so. Workers in developed economies were more concerned to keep work and private life separate.
Britons, French and Brazilians were least likely to be able to relax after work hours - 46% in each country said they could not. This was less of a problem in the United States, where 35% reported issues, and Mexico with 36%.
Overall, the private sector was found to be more open to consumer technology choices than the public sector, and small businesses more flexible than large enterprises.
"The developing world is much more aspirational about technology, sees it as much more than just a corporate tool, and has much more enthusiasm," said Stephen Murdoch, who heads Dell's large-enterprise and public-sector business in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA).
"That pervaded everything. We thought there would be much more interest from the more mature working environments. It was partly about being able to draw the line between work and home life," he told Reuters.
The consumerisation of IT is eroding the large corporate customer base that technology providers like Microsoft and BlackBerry maker Research in Motion enjoy, to the benefit of Apple, Google and others.
As consumers become more tech-savvy and have more gadgets at home, they are less likely to tolerate the choices of IT managers, which are often made for reasons of convenience and cost-effectiveness and are slow to respond to market trends.
The study found that 43% of employees globally said IT problems were a regular frustration. Those in large enterprises, media-sector employees and younger workers were most likely to report such frustrations.
The study also found that 43% of employees around the world felt pressure to work longer hours, with just three out of five saying they could get their work done in regular 9-to-5 office hours.
More than half of those surveyed said they were free to download software to keep up with the latest technology. Mexico with 82% of employees and China with 79% led the way, while in Britain only 37% said they were allowed.
TNS Global conducted 8,360 20-minute interviews for the study in the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Brazil, Mexico, Canada, Japan, Australia, China and India in October of this year. - Reuters

Managing growing data is main challenge to enterprises

Eggleston: "Current storage infrastructure is generally meeting business needs but data growth is the challenge."

KUALA LUMPUR: Data growth is the biggest hurdle to enterprises today, according to Hitachi Data Systems Corp, a storage systems vendor.
"Current storage infrastructure is generally meeting business needs but data growth is the challenge," said Kevin Eggleston, senior vice-president and general manager of Asia Pacific at Hitachi Data Systems Ltd.
"This is because the IT systems are not keeping up with business requirements for deeper insights," he explained.
In all Asia Pacific markets surveyed by industry researcher IDC recently, the IT executives are primarily concerned with data growth, with 56% of respondents citing it as their main challenge.
Eggleston also said that more than 50% of Asia Pacific's large enterprises that participated in the survey, are not anticipating or planning for the advent of big data.
About 67% of the respondents believe their current storage infrastructure is sufficient for the next 12 months.
However, 72% of them do not have a strategy to cope with the growth of unstructured data, such as large multimedia files.
"(All this) data needs to be shared, compared, analysed and visualised more holistically," said Eggleston. "(Only then) can the data become information and be useful as insights for business purposes."
He believes that enterprises need to embrace advanced cloud-computing technologies and solutions to manage their data growth.
However, Eggleston noted, 48% of the respondents are concerned about adopting cloud-based storage solutions due to security fears. He said Hitachi Data Systems would help allay such fears through educational programmes.
Also, he said, enterprises getting into cloud storage should examine their service level agreements to ensure that their security concerns are addressed by the storage service vendor.
More than half of the respondents (60%) said virtualisation is their most adopted technology, followed by disaster recovery (44%), and data encryption (37%).
The survey was conducted from August to September; 150 IT executives from large enterprises in Australia, New Zealand, China, Hong Kong, India, Malaysia and Singapore responded. Hitachi Data Systems commissioned the survey to better understand storage management challenges and strategies.
