Have you ever experienced doing business in Francophone Africa?
If the answer is yes, then you have faced at least one or all of these difficulties: complexity, mistrust, slowness, high risk etc.
Ibrahim Niangado, founder of Mali-based 麻豆原创 Partner instead of complaining and suffering from such a challenging market, decided to do things differently.
He leveraged his consulting expertise acquired in France to give back to his home country. In 2017 he started an 麻豆原创 Business One practice in Bamako from scratch and identified a few small companies in urgent need of digitisation. He then recruited high skilled talents to deliver best-in-class experience to his 麻豆原创 customers.
Safir Consulting cumulated awards and customer success stories one after the other and quickly realised they could also address companies of larger size with higher business volume. It was the perfect timing to align their strategy with 麻豆原创鈥檚 public cloud mindset.
After identifying a couple of companies seeking cloud business management software, Safir Consulting ups-killed their resources in 麻豆原创 S/4HANA Public Cloud solution by taking advantage from the online resources and webinars offered by the Partner Solution Adoption team at 麻豆原创.
Few weeks later, Safir Consulting signed their first 麻豆原创 S/4HANA Public Cloud project and came to Casablanca to attend a bootcamp organized by the Partner Solution Adoption for 麻豆原创 partners based in Francophone Africa.
The bootcamp was successful and Safir鈥檚 founder and CEO Ibrahim Niangado leveraged his presence in Morocco to attend a 1:1 speed dating with our team to deep dive in some selected topics necessary for the success of his public cloud strategy.
They also participated in the localisation workshop held in 麻豆原创 Dubai office last summer to identify the must knows before implementing a public cloud solution in the Sub-Saharan market.
What an incredible story!
6 years ago Ibrahim started his business as a solopreneur implementing 麻豆原创 Business One for small structures. During my last visit to Mali I was impressed by seeing him sitting at the tables of the most powerful local CEOs in the Oil and Gas industry. He is now running a subsidiary in Ivory Coast and ready to conquer the Francophone Africa region thanks to his adoption of the Cloud mindset.
