The changes that have taken place in the global economy in the last 20 years have been driven primarily by businesses in their search for competitive advantage. Businesses have come up with new products driven primarily by new technologies.

A central element in business has been the computer. Most of the processes in business have been computerized including accounts, human resources databases, production processes, invoicing and data collection. The process of computerizing in the country has been slow because of the high cost of computers. However many of the organizations have now acquired computers and are adapting their businesses

to modern computerized businesses. This programme is intended to provide people who can assist not only in the process of computerized business processes but help to run the computers themselves in business organizations.
