The Success Story of Ghana’s Standardization
“Type Approval Management System”
Presentation Abstract
This presentation dubbed “The Success Story of Ghana’s Standardization focusing on Cloud
Computing and Big Data” discusses the newly launched NCA’s Type Approval Management
System. This is an electronic tool designed in-house with the main objectives of facilitating
Type Approval applications through electronic means, by converting the paper-based
applications processes that come with huge and complex documentations to process, analyze
and store, into electronic-based one. This has reduced considerably the time of introduction
of ICT devices onto the Ghanaian market,
The system also serves as a database and search tool with gigabits of storage space and
currently running on dedicated infrastructure and platform that is robust and secured and
thus taking the advantage of cloud computing and big data space.
