ICT must play major role in Logistics Hub

TECH NEWS – Outgoing president and Chief Operating Officer of Flow and Columbus Business Solutions, Michele English, believes that Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) will be one of the most important components in the establishment of Jamaica’s Logistics Hub.

If it executed properly, she said, it will have a huge impact on the island’s economy. Speaking to the Jamaica Observer in an interview at her New Kingston office last Friday, English said that the telecommunications outfit that she heads is uniquely positioned to support the ICT thrust.

“The concept and the project, if executed properly, can have a huge impact on the economy in terms of creating business opportunities and creating jobs,” said English. “Because what you’ll see is international companies coming in, bringing in opportunities, but that will also lead to the development of businesses locally as well, to support the initiative that is the (logistics) hub.” More
