Additional evidence on the positive role of eBusiness indriving up the efficiency of business processes is providedby the 2006 edition of the e-Business W@tch

• According to the survey, 44% of enterprises, representing 57% of the overall employment, said that they had experienced a positive effect of ICT on the efficiency of their business processes.

• The perceived positive impact of ICT is correlated with the enterprise size: 76% of large (250+employees) gave a positive feedback compared to 38% of micro enterprises (less than 10 employees).

• ICT does not only translate into leaner processes but it is also felt as an important factor for improving relations with client: 44% of businesses, comprising 52% of total employment reported an ICT led improvement in the quality of the customer service.


Another important educational impact of ICT is onperception:

• ‘e-learning Nordic 2006’ shows that pupils, teachersand parents consider that ICT has a positive impacton learning, and allows for programmes tailored toindividual pupils’ needs.• The Dutch Government noted teachers becomingmore and more convinced of improved educationalachievements through the use of ICT.• In a Commission study of teachers in spring 2006,teachers using ICT had positive attitudes to theirimpacts on students, particularly for collaborativework and for being more attentive while in class.


Global trends

Existence of digital gaps and divides between countriesThe ICT sector is the most globalised part of the world economy. ICT products represent more than one quarter of the world imports and one fifth of world exports.E-business is developing extremely rapidly in both developed and developing countries, as a instrument to overcome economic barriers.International market for ICTs is already enormous and now is growing at a rate of 8% per year.


ICT trends for our country

Lack of statistical dataICT and related segments of the economy are growing faster than others. Development of ICTs is shifting from production to servicesSoftware production is a leading segment of ICT related productionThe share of locally produced software is no more than 5 to 10 % of the total software usedThe level of development of the ICT sector is closely connected with the liberalization level of the ICT economyHigh demand for ICT specialist


E-business trends

Information is one of the key factors that motivates people to use the InternetThe task of providing demand-driven information to all users is one of the main driving forces for Internet penetration Necessary infrastructure for e-business applications is only now being put into place


E-business readinessAccording McConnell International:

Connectivity (are networks easy and affordable to access and to use)E-leadership (is e-readiness a national priority)Information security (can the processing and the storage of networked information be trusted)Human capital (are the right people available to support e-business and to built knowledge based society)E-business climate (how easy is it to do e-business today)


Conclusions• The knowledge transfer between research centres

(universities) and enterprises should be promoted. • To counteract the e-business skill-shortages in the

country, opportunities for vocational training and for ICT product demonstrations to companies should be offered.

• Information should be provided to businesses on how to assess cost-benefits of e-business. Especially SMEs should be helped to better understand organisational aspects of e-business, not just focused on technology.

• Good practices should be identified and their benefits communicated to businesses

• The use of e-learning should be stimulated.
