Ireland Must Capitalise on the Untapped Potential of the Internet – DHDA
Ireland has yet to fully embrace the economic and social opportunities presented by the internet. That’s according to the Digital Hub Development Agency (DHDA), which today (27.07.11) published its annual report for 2010. Speaking at the launch of the report, Philip Flynn, Chief Executive Officer of the DHDA, highlighted the potential cost savings, time efficiencies and service improvements that could be delivered by public and private sector organisations through increased use of the internet and digital media tools.
“The internet has now become both a global cultural phenomenon and a disruptive economics engine – and this presents an opportunity on all fronts for increased income, cost savings and efficiencies, and improved customer service,” he said. “If harnessed well, it will allow our arts and cultural products to extend their reach to global audiences and our indigenous commercial businesses to grow and expand in world markets.”
