The ICT industry in Malaysia generally falls under three
categories. The first is information technology. Any
design, development, testing, deployment and
marketing of software applications fall under this
category. The application can be in embedded form
within devices, packaged software or online
applications,
The second category is the shared services and
outsourcing (SSO). The services category is broadly
defined as provision of the IT and the IT-enabled
services to vertical industries such as Oil & Gas,
Healthcare and Banking across geopolitical boundaries.
Examples of the SSO include business process
outsourcing, data processing and call centre services.
The third category is creative content. Creative content
is defined as goods that have strong cultural, aesthetics
or entertainment value. Examples of these goods are
movies, animation, infotainment or video games.
Therefore, any activity related to the creation and
distribution of such item falls under this category.
The ICT industry is indeed very broad in nature. But the
focus on these three categories is intentional as it rides
on a culturally diverse knowledge workforce, one of
Malaysia's key strength. The ICT sector has also been
identified as one of the engines for wealth creation
under the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP).
With the kind of support given, the ICT industry is set to
grow larger and provide ample opportunities to all
involved,
