Gasscom was launched in November 2007 to promote the growth of business process outsourcing (BPO) as a major business opportunity. The Association resulted from a number of private sector information technology organisations coming together.

GASSCOM was set up to facilitate business and trade in software and services and be a strong advocate in soliciting government and other public sector support and encourage the advancement of the industry as a key and strategic sector for the growth of the Ghanaian economy in the next millennium.

Aims and Objectives 
The primary objective of GASSCOM is to act as a catalyst for the growth of IT-enabled and BPO industry by playing a key advocacy role to influence government to prepare the enabling environment through appropriate legislation that will foster the growth of the outsourcing industry. Other goals include facilitation of strong bonds and trade between outsourcing companies in Ghana and develop strong association with global outsourcing trade groups, and collaborate with investment partners to promote the industry.
