Zimbabwe has seen increased use and participation of new information and communications technologies (ICT’s).  As a result local business people should be encouraged to invest in websites for wider visibility and better interaction with customers.

Websites help companies with publicity hence attracting customers and prospective business deals.  More competition is likely to lead to improved customer relationships, reinforced by better web management strategies.  Most businesses activities are now computerized hence companies need to stay upgraded technologically so as to fight off competition.
Mobile money would also continue to help combat falling revenues with potential extensions into mobile commerce goods and solutions. Information Communication Technologies allow for efficiency particularly where plastic money is concerned.  After the onset of multi-currency initiative in the country most frims felt they were being shortchanged because of the absence of smaller denominations of multicurrency. E-banking and E-commerce present business with solution to this problem.

 Businesses should embrace technology, in so doing businesses should invest in technology and put their businesses on Internet through websites which are informative and interactive.  Business questions can be resolved quickly at the touch of a button by viewing traffic on a given website.
Information technologies allow faster communication amongst business hence business growth in the long run.
