Digital Divide Data (DDD ) is an information technology outsourcing enterprise, that began in Cambodia in 2001. The organization was created with a social mission to provide new skills and economic opportunities to disadvantaged Cambodians.

DDD trains and hires Cambodians with limited income generating opportunities, many of whom are disabled or rescued from sex trafficking. Today, the enterprise offers universities, companies and NGOs IT services like digitization of records, data entry, image scanning & OCR, editing and XML/HTML tagging and database development support. The initiative is supported by a United States-based international management and sales team, and has secured several contracts in North America, including the libraries of the University of Chicago and the University of Canada.

DDD has committed to improving the livelihoods of its employees by offering them extensive health and education benefits, including scholarships to attend school and career counseling.
