Please leave your comments and feedback here. CIO Pakistan will comprise the feedback and add it to the documentation in the CIO Pakistan Year Ahead ’09 Conference taking place in march 2009. We will be addressing some of these issues in the conference there.
Good policies, good laws, competent enforcement and a fair, efficient judiciary will make Pakistan a more attractive IT destination, better able to deploy IT technologies domestically and better able to compete globally.
