The telecom industry will grow and head in the right direction. Using VMware’s digital foundation, NTC can ensure that Pakistani government adopts cloud storage facility and welcome innovation & modernization in the field of technology. Not just this, but this agreement will also help the workers & government officials to easily store and access important data. They can bring efficiency in their work when they readily adopt and use modern facilities.
