IFGICT and IBM are the two international
organizations working tirelessly to enhance the growth of communication
technology. Both have different perspectives and goals to carry on. However,
these organizations recently partnered on 15th Sep 2021 and announced that they would
develop awareness about ICT standards.
ICT standards are set by IFGICT, an independent organization in
the United States, and is involved in developing the standards for information,
communication, and business technology. It has introduced numerous standards
and certifications for different industries to reduce the issues of
cybersecurity and data leakage.
The four major certifications that it offers to various
organizations include:
§ Cyber
Security Standard
§ AI
Standards
§ Healthcare
Standard
§ ICT
Standard
UNFCCC – CDM has recently nominated IFGICT as a qualified
services provider to deliver training, counseling, and effective technology
execution in the ICT sector.
IFGICT has established an ICT standard, which refers to a series
of sustainability guidelines for all ICT goods, services, and organizations
tangled in the information, communication, and technology industry. They may be
involved in the production, research, and development or are the end-users. The
standard offers fundamental principles and strategies to organizations,
producers, and service providers to foster a strategy that can aid them in
attaining green business certification provided by IFGICT.
IFGICT performs a general audit and awards Green IT business
certification to the organizations fulfilling the green ICT standards founded
by IFGICT. When a business has this certification, it means it has taken a
practical attempt for the environmental health and overall world community. And
it has ensured environmental conservation to save it for upcoming generations.
Thus, IFGICT is trying to ensure environment conservation by developing such
standards for the ICT industry.
On the other hand, IBM stands for international business
machines corporation to develop software, hardware, cloud, and cognitive
computing. It is currently providing information technology infrastructure
services and producing innovative technology that allows digital transformation.
IBM focuses on revolutionizing private infrastructure, cloud
services, risk reduction, business continuity improvement, and digital
workplace services. But its services aren’t just limited to information,
communication, and technology. It has many other products and services for
different sectors.
Final Verdict
Though both organizations have different motives, they are still
involved in the ICT industry in one way or another. IFGICT is establishing
standards, and IBM is manufacturing ICT products which give them a common edge.
Therefore, both organizations have announced in September to enhance awareness
for ICT standards because it’s essential for almost every organization to meet
these standards and conserve our environment. ICT standard ensures every
organization makes a strategy having minimal to no harm to the
environment.
So, hopefully, this collaboration will be a great movement in
the ICT industry, and it will help reduce the harmful impacts of ICT
products.
