The world has seen rapid digitization that has changed almost everything from the economy to government, interaction between people, relationships with consumers, healthcare and education. While Pakistan is slow in digital adoption, following the announcement of the PM digital Pakistan vision, we have witnessed a tremendously growing digital landscape in the Nation. Although there are several significant initiatives, we have come across another creative business initiative set up by Pakistan.
For the very first time, PTCL has partnered with DETASAD, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s (KSA) leading contributor to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s (KSA) ICT sector, to create a digital cloud marketplace in Pakistan. Under this partnership, the PTCL rated-3 Accredited Data Center will be hosted locally in Pakistan.
As it provides its customers with Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Application-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) on a highly safe and stable public cloud platform, the cloud marketplace in Pakistan is an attractive opportunity for companies. The best thing is that a self-service platform will also be provided which will cater to the enormous variety of goods and services. This implies that clients will leave behind conventional IT services and accept this cloud-based technology.
Innovative business strategies will be offered by the digital cloud marketplace which will help local businesses achieve greater agility and protection than ever. This project will also digitize the country and will attract investments in Pakistan from many other international companies.
It remains a priority in this increasingly digital world to hold Pakistan on a par with other developed countries in order to bridge the differences between social and economic disparities. This initiative will help Pakistan take a step towards the nation’s development and make the nation digitally strong.
