Information Management : ICT allows
businesses to collect, store, process,

supply chain management, improving
overall operational efficiency.

marketing, allowing businesses to reach their target
audience through websites, social media, email
campaigns, and online advertising. Customer
relationship management (CRM) systems help in
managing interactions with customers, tracking
sales, and improving customer service.

9. ICT fosters innovation by enabling businesses to
develop new products, services, and business
models. It facilitates research and development,
collaboration with partners, and the adoption of
emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence,
blockchain, and the Internet of Things (IoT), which
can lead to a competitive edge in the market.

10. ICT facilitates globalization by connecting
businesses with suppliers, partners, and
customers worldwide. It also supports
remote work arrangements by providing the
necessary infrastructure for employees to
work from anywhere, increasing flexibility and
reducing geographical barriers.

11. Robust Cybersecurity Measures: Employ
firewalls, antivirus software, encryption,
and regular security audits to protect
against cyber threats.

Data Privacy Policies: Develop and enforce
data privacy policies, obtain consent for
data collection, and appoint a data
protection officer to ensure compliance
with regulations.

interoperable systems, standardized
protocols, and middleware for seamless
integration of ICT systems.
