ICT Research, Strategy & Applications
Intelecon specializes in designing national information and communication technology (ICT) strategies that catalyze social and economic development opportunities in emerging market environments. Intelecon understands that ICTs are not stand-alone, turn-key entities. Rather, ICT development and expansion involves the creation of strategic, integrated policies that support and expand the role that ICT has in terms of a country's wider growth and development, but also the opportunities that users have to develop, access and utilize technologies.
Intelecon's team of professional consultants can identify and facilitate the adoption of ICT strategies to enhance domestic and international economic development opportunities. We offer a wealth of experience in conducting ICT country analyses, qualitative and quantitative research including benchmarking, and business planning exercises.
Intelecon promotes innovative ICT applications, pilots and delivery approaches that include mobile phone enabled "Village Phone" entrepreneurs, school/community internet points of presence (POPs), and wireless broadband applications for remote areas.
Our valued clients have included government regulators, telecom operators, banking, remittance organizations and local agent networks that include mobile phone agents, local merchants and microfinance organizations.
