Growing interest in cloud adoption in Africa
Andrew Strachan, Head of Sales: Business Applications at Dimension Data, cites growing interest from customers wishing to migrate their on-premise ERP business processes to cloud environments. 鈥淲e help our clients move to the cloud and embrace the latest 麻豆原创 technologies. Lately we鈥檝e seen growing numbers of clients adopt the 麻豆原创 RISE program to move their on-premise 麻豆原创 applications into both public and private cloud environments. We work closely with 麻豆原创 and our customers to ensure that their cloud migration is a success.鈥�
According to Bertrin Pekeur, 麻豆原创 Lead at Accenture South Africa, 麻豆原创 forms an integral part of Accenture鈥檚 strategy of digitalisation. 鈥淲e believe every business is a digital business, and the quickest way to digitalise is through the cloud. RISE with 麻豆原创 and SOAR with Accenture provide clients with the ideal platform for cloud adoption.鈥�
Skills essential to cloud success
One of the most important factors for successful cloud adoption is the availability of sufficiently skilled consultants and technology experts. In , four in five African organisations said they were affected by a lack of tech skills, leading to increased pressure on existing teams, a lack of competitiveness, and stifled innovation capabilities.
Accepting the award for Top Capacity Growth, Nomvuyo Mnyaka, Delivery Head Executive at Zimele Technologies, notes the importance of skills in the successful implementation of ERP solutions, integrations and support services. 鈥淥ur people are our most valuable asset, and we invest heavily in their development and growth. With 麻豆原创鈥檚 strategic focus on creating business value over It value, the availability of skilled consultants and technology specialists is essential to our long-term success.鈥�
Partner ecosystem thriving
Bolton cites the thriving partner ecosystem as a cornerstone of 麻豆原创鈥檚 success with supporting Africa鈥檚 digital transformation efforts. 鈥淭he winners at this year鈥檚 麻豆原创 Africa Partner Awards are a showcase of the expert guidance, technological capabilities and business insight our partners provide to organisations across the continent. We look forward to deepening our relationship with our partners and continuing with the great work done to date in driving cloud adoption and tech-enabled innovation throughout the continent.鈥�
Pekeur adds: 鈥淐onsidering the broad interdependencies within the cloud ecosystem, one of the most important factors for successful cloud adoption is how well the various partners can work together. Our experience with the strategic and operational management of various ecosystem partners help us deliver successful cloud deployments for our customers.鈥�
