1.1 Transition to Broadband
Broadband have been described as high-speed internet access and since it offers
high-quality connectivity it allows uninterrupted video streaming and computerized

development must continue in order to achieve the national goals related to ICT.

1.2 Cloud computing and the cloud economy
Cloud providers offers services that fall under three categories: software as a service, platform as a
service, and infrastructure as a service. Software as a service provides Internet-based applications that
are hosted on a cloud and these services can be get by the customer without paying huge sums for
servers and software licenses. Providers will similarly benefit with lower cost since they only need a single
application to maintain and hosted. Examples of software as a service cloud computing models are
Acrobat.com and Google Docs. Platform as a service allows the end users to develop, build, design and
test applications using platform provided by the cloud infrastructure. Examples of platform as a service
cloud computing models are Azure Services and Google App Engine Platform. Lastly, infrastructure as a
service computing model provides basic storage and computing capabilities using servers, networking
equipment, storage systems, and the like. Since it is a pay-peruse model then customer have to use his
own software on the infrastructure.
Datafication is the term used to describe an organizational trend to the process of putting
together all the tools and technology needed to transform a business into a data driven
enterprise.
Business organizations felt on data and extracted knowledge and information to perform
necessary transactions and operations.
