Digital Economy - Good Practice in the Community Sector

What is the Digital Economy?
​

The digital economy is the global network of economic and social activities that are enabled by information and communications technologies, such as the internet, mobile and sensor networks.

The digital economy comprises the computers, phones, game consoles and devices most of us use each day. It is the ability to start up a web browser and search for a local restaurant, to send a text message to your friend or to use a navigational device in your car. The digital economy includes paying for goods with your debit or credit card at the store, or when your doctor receives your pathology results electronically.


Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy
Contrary to often held public opinion, the not for profit sector faces the same burden as the commercial world; the challenge of doing more with less and often from a revenue raise that can be largely out of the organisation’s control. "
