We are committed to supporting the vision of developing a quality ICT SMME base in KwaZulu-Natal and we see local ICT skills development as critical to our success. We have partnered with SmartXchange, an eThekwini-based not-for-profit ICT cluster established to promote and support the region’s vision to be the technology hub of Africa, to help achieve this objective. As the only JSE listed ICT company headquartered in KwaZulu-Natal, we are strongly motivated to support this initiative and develop ICT talent locally.
As we continue to grow, we continue to diversify, and we continue to invest and focus on skills development in our teams. We offer certification programmes in Oracle, Microsoft and OpenSource technologies, as well as in project management and business consulting methodologies. We support our employees through training and mentorship in a variety of specialised business applications.
The core of our business strength is our knowledge of our customers’ businesses – in a people-based company, mentorship and skills transfer is a competitive advantage which we strive to maintain and develop.
