The role of Information and

Introduction Communications Technology 1st Paragraph
(ICT) in organizations has
expanded much over the
years. From mere recording of
business transactions and
reports generation, ICT has
gone on to becoming the
means to securely procuring
raw materials, managing
production, and facilitating
distribution. As a general
purpose technology, it is
widely applicable in
manufacturing and service
sectors, and therefore is
intimately linked with the rest
of the economy.

North America, Europe, Japan, Paragraph
and the Asia‐Pacific. According
to the Philippine Software
Association, the industry
contributed P22.75 billion in
income taxes in 2003—about
9.6% of total taxes on net
income collected by the
national -government.
Nonetheless, India remains the
global leader in software and
applications development
because it still has the largest
number of low‐cost, highly‐
skilled programmers than
anywhere in the world.
ICT has the potential to support
the entire value chain: Its forward
links extend to custom‐made
product configuration, while its
backward links can go all the way
to materials science—making it
ideal as a tool to support new
demand for customized products,
services, and solutions (e.g.
payment modes); it is expected to
be the primary vehicle for a new
breed of information products
with greater information and
development content.

and services, hence, depends
greatly on how well it can use ICT
to support its products. In this
sense, it can be argued that it is
this use of ICT in large sectors of
the economy determines
productivity (Kraemer and
Dedrick, 2001).
Traditional ICT services include
software and applications
development, network
engineering and maintenance,
and, more recently, call centers,
medical and legal transcription,
animation, and various forms of
business process outsourcing
 (BPO). The demand for these
services is expected to continue
and the race to provide these
services—especially in Asian
countries—will have significant
impacts on both users and
Suppliers worldwide.

industries locally and globally.

 Conclusion Although the country has
designated special economic
zones suitable for ICT, call
center, and BPO establishments,
these are confined mostly to
Metro Manila. The establishment
of new economic zones for ICT
must be conceptualized with
conscious regard for local
government, the education
institutions that will soon be part
of these new strategic networks,
and local labor markets. Our
potential as an offshore location
for BPO must be promoted even
more through trade missions and
expositions. Various information
campaigns on ICT must likewise
be made to keep local and
international organizations to be
aware of the ICT developments
in the country. Finally, the
media should be encouraged to
take an active part in educating
and informing the general public
on issues related to ICT.
