Thin Client Benefits To Business Organizations in Developing Countries

This book was aimed at giving consideration to thin client technology as a means of providing an effective, efficient, and affordable information and communication technology for the business communities in developing countries, using Nigeria as a case study.It is undisputable that Information and communication technology (ICT) is the principal driver of economic development and social change globally. Its indispensability has impacted positively on the quality and quantity of developmental approaches adopted by various businesses in the global community. The developing countries will need to engage ICT skills in their socio-economic activities in order to compete with their counterparts in developed countries. However, it is not enough for them to secure the infrastructures, but it is highly essential for them to secure effective and affordable ones, considering the not-so-good financial status of these developing countries. Hence, it is important to introduce this technology to developing countries, which will not only bring about very significant cost savings, but also create efficiencies, enhance ease-of-use of information technology, and improve services to business customers.
