• Information & Communication Technologies (ICT)


  Focuses on hardware and the way computers process data (software)
• Information Technology (IT)


  Takes a broader approach and focuses on the way in which digital information is communicated
• ICT


  Concerned with digital data storage, retrieval and transmission
• ICT


  • Makes a business more efficient, effective and promptly respond to customers' needs
  • Can assist business activities including design, manufacturing, R&D, distribution and sales and feedback
• ICT is concerned with digital data storage, retrieval and transmission
• Capture Function


  Refers to a task done by way of using devices like scanners and cameras thus allowing storage of vital data and information for future use
• Capture Function


  • Application of bank account
  • Send or receive money from remittance center
  • CCTV footage
• Process Function


  Entails converting, analyzing, and synthesizing all forms of data or information. It involves transformation of any type of information into a different type of information
• Process Function


  • Taking data (raw numbers, symbols, letters) and transform it as a basis or reference for decision-making
  • Creating reports
• 3 types of information processing

  • Image Processing
  • Voice Processing
  • Word Processing
• Generation Function


  Refers to the organization of data and information to a useful form, whether as numbers, text, sound, or visual image
• Generation Function


  • Tabulating questionnaire into presentable formats in Excel format
  • Creating tables and graphs from data on file
  • Downloading data
• Storage & Retrieval Function

  Storage function enables computers to keep data and information for later use (flash drive, SD Card). Retrieval function entails locating and copying stored data or information for further processing of for transmission to another user
• Transmission Function

  Allows sending data and information from one location to another
• Transmission Function


  • Electronic mail
  • Voice Messaging

  • Disintermediation
• ICT offer a wide range of capabilities or services that can be used in practically all sectors of the economy
• Convergence is the integration of computers and telecommunication technologies
• Product digitalization


  The process of converting physical products and their associated information into digital formats. It involves capturing, storing, and managing data about a product's design, production, distribution, and lifecycle using digital technologies
• Product digitalization


  • Enhances operational efficiency by streamlining supply chain processes and reducing manual tasks
  • Improves customer satisfaction and loyalty by providing real-time data and personalization options
