Sales opportunities exist in expanding security, cloud, data protection, open source, network infrastructure, and data center solutions across enterprise and SME markets in South Africa and the broader SADC region.

Cloud and Data Center Focus The company specializes in data center, virtualization, cloud-based services, hosted applications, and database and middleware solutions.

This creates openings for managed security services, vulnerability management, backup and recovery solutions, and cloud security implementations for mid-market to enterprise clients.
