The major goal of the society is to increase awareness of the possibilities of IT, and to contribute to the advancement of optimal usage of IT for business and society alike. This is done through membership meetings, seminars, conferences and exhibitions, publications and activities towards governmental, political and public institutions and authorities. Members on a voluntary basis operate most of the activity. The NCS has more than 50 working groups concentrating on such areas as computer safety, e-Business, Data Warehousing, Internet/Intranet and Databases.
