Importance of ICT
Accelerating business innovation; a Technology Strategy Board programme
ICT drives forward productivity growth across all economic sectors and enables business transformation, allowing firms to
extend their reach and capabilities, reduce costs by streamlining their processes increase sales by providing better and more competitive products and services
55% of total UK GVA from IT and Telecoms-intensive sectors 4.9% of total UK GVA from IT and Telecoms sectors
www.gridcomputingnow.org
Importance of ICT
Accelerating business innovation; a Technology Strategy Board programme
Estimated that continued adoption and exploitation of existing ICT has the potential to contribute an extra £35bn over the next 5-7 years
though this depends crucially on firms being aware of the benefits that they could accrue the development and adoption of new ICTs would contribute further Figures from “Technology Counts” study commissioned by e-Skills www.gridcomputingnow.org
