Bangladesh’s software, IoT developers gaining ground on global market
Industry-specific manpower vital to utilise prospects of 4IR, measures absent

Bangladesh’s information and communication technology firms have been gradually gaining a strong foothold on the global arena with promising prospects in the field of software and Internet of Thingsdriven product and service development waiting to be grabbed ahead of the fourth industrial revolution.
Along with drawing global attention by exporting products and services, the country’s ICT firms have also been successfully fulfilling the highend technological needs of local businesses, corporate houses, banks and government agencies.
Even though the coronavirus outbreak hit the economy hard in the initial stages, the outbreak has also opened up new opportunities for the sector since most firms have seen sharp growths in revenue in recent months with some companies reporting growths of around 70 to 80 per cent, said businesses.
Online transaction management, online education management along with content development, telemedicine and business processing have emerged as major sectors for software and ICT firms to be explored in the new normal after the COVID-19 outbreak.
In terms of export, 188 local firms have already registered with the Bangladesh Association of Software and Information Services as ICT product and service exporters exporting to around 80 destinations across the globe while a large number of firms and individual freelancers are exporting products and services about which there is no database.
Apart from exporting ICT products and services, a number of entities have started to produce ICT and IOT devices and artificial intelligence- and cloud-based solutions for different countries.
Of the 188 entities, four companies have started providing ICT-related services to government agencies in different countries.
The central bank provided Tk 216 crore in 2019 and 2020 in cash incentives against the export of ICT-based products and services.
BASIS sources said that the country’s export of software and ICT products has already exceeded more than $1 billion and was eyeing to achieve an annual export worth $5 billion by the year 2024.
In terms of providing local services, 31 out of 58 banks have availed core banking solutions from Bangladeshi software vendors and developers along with many microcredit firms, non-bank financial institutions, brokerage firms and garment industries.
By providing CBS to the banks, local firms have saved around Tk 1,000 crore as each CBS developed by foreign firms cost between Tk 30 crore and Tk 40 crore while locally developed solutions come at a cost of Tk 8 crore to Tk 12 crore.
Locally and internationally, the demand for software and ICT-driven products and services would see a sharp rise as people become habituated to online shopping and service procurement after the COVID-19 outbreak, Bangladesh Association of Software and Information Services president Syed Almas Kabir told New Age.
Software developers and information and communication technology businesses have the potential to give new dimensions to the country’s economy given the required manpower if the country can prepare itself for the fourth industrial revolution, DataSoft managing director Mahboob Zaman told New Age.
Re-scaling human resources based on the needs of the industry would help the country to explore the field of smart homes, smart offices, smart cities, augmented reality, virtual reality, IoT, big data analytics, artificial intelligence and fintech more effectively.
Stating that collaboration between industry and universities was vital for development of need-based human resources, Mahboob said, ‘Such collaboration is hardly seen in our country.’
DataSoft, a CMMI level 5 certified software product and service company, has created an IoT-based toll management system for the Democratic Republic of Congo in Africa and is providing software development solutions to multinational company Johnson ControlsHitachi Air Conditioning for the running of artificial intelligence- and cloud-based air conditioning systems in Japan.
Apart from these, the entity has also provided solutions for the automation of the Dhaka and Chattogram customs houses and has received much global attention after implementation of the project, the DataSoft chief said.
Another firm called Dream71 Bangladesh was awarded the task to develop two educational videogames for the Southeast Asian nation of East Timor located in the Pacific by the United Nations Development Programme among 38 other firms from Bangladesh, India, Australia, Brazil, Vietnam and the Philippines, BASIS director and Dream71 managing director Rashad Kabir told New Age.
Local technology firm DohaTec designed the electronic government procurement system for Bhutan after the successful rollout of the country’s e-GP system.
Kazi IT works on the US market while Reve Systems works in different countries, including Singapore.
Like these companies, many other software and ICT firms in the country have managed to get a foothold on the global market, including the United Kingdom, the US, Middle East, Europe, African and Asia.
Speaking about the major challenges faced by the sector, Syed Almas Kabir, Mahboob Zaman and Rashad Kabir emphasised human resource development based on the future needs of the sector so that the sector can take advantage of the opportunities that will arise in the upcoming fourth industrial revolution.
They also underlined the need for adopting an integrated plan that would guide students from school to university levels to acquire the skills required to cope with the needs of the future.
Posts and telecommunications minister Mustafa Jabbar, also a former president of BASIS, thinks that the country’s education curriculum from the primary to the university levels are far away from developing the required manpower for the sector.
The required manpower development would not be possible without bringing about gross changes in the education curriculum, he said.
‘It would not be possible for us to gain any benefit out of the fourth industrial revolution with the existing manpower,’ Jabbar said, adding that the Information Communication Technology Division had taken some initiatives to train people but those skills were only fit for very low-end tasks.
‘Education in programming should be incorporated at the primary level. Otherwise it would be difficult for children to cope at the university level,’ he said, adding that he had not seen such measures in place yet.
Almas Kabir said that ensuring high speed broadband internet at the root level would be another vital factor as it would not be possible to develop high-end software and ICT-products with the existing internet ecosystem.
At present, a very small segment of the population has access to broadband, he said.
Out of the country’s 11.11 crore internet users, only 86.56 lakh people have broadband connectivity as the remaining population of 10.25 crore use low-speed mobile internet.
Mustafa said that a number of initiatives were underway to take broadband connectivity to all unions across the country by 2021 while connecting villages would depend on the demand and supply situation.

Hmm , Walton makes decent smartphones but if the government funded them a ton of money he can make these smartphones compete with Apple , Samsung or Hauwei

How well do Walton’s PC parts perform?
Walton’s PC parts are cheaper than their international counterparts and in most cases offers at par performance
Setting up a desktop computer using different parts from different brands has been a long practice in our country. Very few of us actually buy a full set from one single brand, out of numerous considerations, including the price. Instead, we usually build a desktop out of various brands that deliver the best performance in that specific category.
For the longest time, we had to depend on international brands to get the best performance out of a monitor, keyboard, mouse etc. Off late however, local brand Walton has entered the race of creating PC parts and is steadily making a headway in the market.
Walton offers PC parts at very affordable price which none of the international or local brands have ever offered. People who are looking for things at lower cost with capable performance should go for Walton. However, buyers aiming for higher quality without any wallet issue can explore other established international brands.
Walton has come up with numerous products, feature variations and reasonable prices. Among the 19 PC parts they have so far produced, I have used only six products and its different models.
So, I would like to share my user experience and rate each product out of five.
Monitor
Walton has monitors which are within 18.5 inches to 23.5 inches. And, prices are also pretty budget friendly as you can purchase those at Tk5,790 to Tk13,500.
At cheapest, WD185T01 is available which has resolution of 1366 × 768 at 60Hz. It has VGA connector instead of HDMI port whereas most graphics cards do not have VGA port now. Upon verifying compatibility, buyers can try with VGA to HDMI adapter cable whatsoever.
However, this recommendation can be valid for all the model of Walton monitors as users can also explore other options to have a comparative understanding.
I would give 3 out of 5 to Walton monitors for its offered features.
RAM
Walton has five products of this category in market; four being for desktops and one for laptops. The price of RAM is within Tk2,200 to Tk6,250.
For RAM, Walton Antique is a high performing series and among all those models – WDR4L0826NN3 serves well. It offers 8 GB Memory at Tk3250 with 2666 MHz data transfer bandwidth.
However, at this same price one can go with Corsair's Vengeance series or Thermaltake's Toughram series which are arguably superior than what Walton is offering to the customers.
I will rate it 2 out of 5 as it does not worth the price as per the performance value.
Memory Cards
Capacity of Walton's memory card starts from 16GB to 256GB. The price is within Tk395 to Tk3395. All of these ensure high speed data transfer with Class 10 speed.
Being cost-effective, it provides top-notch service. Though it is not the best, service and reasonable price have made it good enough. I find these memory cards can compete with any well-known international brand in this same price range.
So, I would give it 4 out of 5 as per its performance.
SSD
In my view, Walton's SSD can compete with any of the international brands in market. After using the first one around one year ago, I am using another Walton SSD with 480GB space from Antique series. I bought this around three months ago and its high-speed data transferring and data caching performance have amazed me.
In Walton's SSD, there are two types of built in interface – SATAIII and M.2 NVME – that come with 240GB and 480GB storage space. Currently, these models are not in stock.
The prices of NVME drives of 256GB and 512GB storage space are respectively Tk3150 and Tk5950. I would highly recommend these to the buyers with confidence for their daily use and storage.
Walton offers three years warranty on each SSD and it is also fast, reliable and reasonable at price.
After considering all these features, I would rate it 5 out of 5.
Mouse
It offers a wide range of mouse – from smaller ones to big and heavy ones for gaming purpose. I think it is quite good at this value.
All the mouses within Tk1000 and I believe no other brands are offering such varieties at this price. Though all these do not provide quality service, I would highly recommend WMG003WB and WMG009WB as these two are the best in this line-up. Walton can raise the price a little and can offer a few more mouses, while ensuring the quality.
Considering the price and performance, I would rate this product 3 out of 5.
Keyboard
When it comes to keyboard, I have always preferred the mechanical ones. Walton, however, does not make any mechanical keyboards though it does have a few keyboards that provide a subtle mechanical feature.
Walton's offered keyboards are membrane keyboard. It comes with backlit keys and also perform well at this price range. Walton has kept the price pretty reasonable as it is within Tk240 to Tk1,550.
I would specifically mention WKG005WB as it provides high precision inputs at Tk950. These keyboards are also pretty good for gaming, but when it comes to look, I find a few of those are up to the mark.
After thinking all the points, I would give it 3 out of 5.

If Walton had a lot of R&D money , they could actually make even better quality products.
