As part of our ongoing commitment to strengthening the digital and technological landscape of The Bahamas, the Bahamas Chamber of Commerce and Employers Confederation (BCCEC) and the Digital Transformation Committee is conducting a survey to better understand the current IT environment from the perspective of our business community.
