What Bangladesh Computer Council does

Bangladesh Computer Council (BCC) is the statutory government body responsible for national ICT development in Bangladesh, established under the BCC Act 1990 and operating under the ICT Division of the Government of Bangladesh. BCC's mandate spans national ICT policy implementation, infrastructure hosting, cybersecurity incident response, digital certification, IT professional credentialing, and software quality assurance. It serves Government of Bangladesh ministries and agencies as its primary customer segment, with secondary reach to citizens and IT professionals through training and certification programs.

BCC operates a platform-plus-modules architecture. Core infrastructure includes a Tier III+ National Data Center (NDC) for hosting and colocation, BGD e-Gov CIRT providing cybersecurity incident handling, digital forensics, and a cyber range, and a Certifying Authority (BCC-CA) issuing digital certificates. Application-layer products include the E-Recruitment System (with a 10,000+ question bank across 10+ subjects), Video Conferencing (Bayothon), Training Management System (BKIICT), E-Filing, Government Leave Management (GRP), Project Monitoring, Government Cloud Drive, and Government Webmail. Standards and frameworks include the Bangladesh National Digital Architecture (BNDA), which provides the National e-Service Bus for inter-agency integration, and the Software Quality Testing & Certification Center (SQTC).

BCC is funded through annual government budget allocations and provides most services free of charge to government entities and citizens; some training programs, lab rentals, and data center hosting carry nominal fees. The organization operates a headquarters in Dhaka plus 7 regional offices across all of Bangladesh's 8 divisions, and is recognized internationally through WITSA (2020), WSIS (2019, 2020), and DCD APSAC (2019) awards.
