PSIA pays courtesy call to new CICT Chief
Last week, the Philippine Software Industry Association (PSIA) board directors paid a courtesy call to newly-appointed Commission on Information and Communications Technology (CICT) Secretary Ivan Uy.
Key challenges faced by the IT outsourcing and software development sector were discussed, namely: advocating IT as a career because of lucrative growth opportunities; building up the local ITO sector through increased access to capital; reaching out beyond Metro Manila and helping stimulate reverse migration; pursuing PSIA’s adhoc committees under capability development; obtaining more data on the sector’s contribution to the national economy; and continuing close collaboration with CICT as a catalyst for a robust software development industry.
