13. IT PARK DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY
Following strategy should be adopted to have the maximum output of the efforts.
It is anticipated that work on Components I, II and III can commence at
approximately the same time.
Component 1: Best Practices
Component 2: Review of Policy Development
Component 3: Country case studies
Component 4: IT Park Investment & Implementation Strategy 13
14. COMPONENT 1: BEST PRACTICES
The consultants will undertake a desk review of relevant literature, as well as
selective site visits only as needed to.
Identifying the ‘critical factors for success of business’ in sustaining and
establishing the operation of IT parks (i.e. examine both failed and successful
IT parks in both developed and developing countries)
These critical factors for success of business should incorporate the
perspectives of developers and investors who had developed and financed IT
parks.

15. COMPONENT 2: REVIEW OF POLICY DEVELOPMENT
Explore how public policy can enable or inhibit the creation of competitive IT
sector; and identify which public policies were instrumental in the success and
failure of IT parks
Determine the impact of IT parks in supporting the emergence of an IT sector, as
well as enabling positive externalities in knowledge spillover and economic growth
Define and explore the role of the public sector and develop best practice guidelines
and options for policy makers
15
16. COMPONENT 3: COUNTRY CASE STUDIES
In parallel to developing component I- Best practices/ lessons learned, the
consultants should conduct three country case studies
The country case studies will provide the national context in which policy
makers and other key stakeholders will evaluate and benchmark their country
on the basis of the ‘critical business success factors’ to implement and design a
sustainable IT park.
16
17. COMPONENT 4: IT PARK INVESTMENT AND
IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY

and its partners in the international donor community (including the World Bank
Group) to make informed decisions and commitments about their possible
involvement in existing or new IT park projects in Pakistan

26. WHY DATA CENTERS ARE NEEDED IN PAKISTAN?
With the ever-changing and ever-increasing needs related to internet and
web, establishment and development of data centers in Pakistan has
become more than necessary. Companies having their own data centers are:
PTCL

IT Centers provide secure and reliable IT
infrastructure . IT Centers provide the following:
A robust and secure enterprise network service
to support voice, video, messaging, and data
State-of-the-art, high-performance scientific
computing platforms
Secure access to IT systems, including
computers, applications, and systems
Data-processing, hosting, and storage facilities
Access to discounted software products and
applications information, expertise, and training
28. BUSINESS INCUBATOR
Business incubator supports
the development of startups
by providing them with
administrative and advisory
support services
An incubator's primary
objective is to produce
successful and financially
viable firms that can survive
on their own.

29. FACTORS
AFFECTING THE
SUCCESS OF
TECHNOLOGY
PARK
29
Lack of Legislative Framework
Non-Availability of Financing
Lack of Well-Developed Universities &
Research Facilities
Lack of Shared Vision Among Stakeholders
Absence of Culture of Entrepreneurism
30. INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP
The growth of IT parks depends on the growth
of the firms and also on how the external and
internal factors affect the entrepreneur at each
stage of enterprise development
Especially in developing economies, we need
innovators that create new or improved services
and products accessible to underserved
populations.
30
31. BIG PICTURE
To sum up, our proposed concept is based on best international
practices for IT Parks while at the same time taking into account
some of the particular short-comings which currently hamper IT
sector development.
If implemented successfully, the business park will provide a world
class infrastructure and will offer low cost business services and
administrative support to companies in the house
