BusinessTech grabbed the chance to engage in some Q&A with Nashua Mobile<\/a> MD, Chris Radley<\/a>, asking him about his take on the tech industry, and what he plans for the year that lies ahead.<\/p>\n

Are we seeing enough innovation in the technology space in SA?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Big South African businesses are doing great things – just look at the way FNB<\/a> is shaking up the banking space – but it would wonderful to see some more start-ups coming to market with new innovations and inventions.<\/p>\n

What are you most excited about for the next 12 months?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m really excited about the opportunity we have to position Nashua Mobile as a customer service champion for the industry. We have a number of projects underway that are all about making it easier for customers to interact with us and enriching the customer experience.<\/p>\n

What is your biggest challenge, what keeps you awake at night?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Staying ahead of an industry that is changing all the time. Keeping abreast of the technology feels like a full time job in its own right.<\/p>\n

What is your business passion? What excites you most, what gets you out of bed in the morning?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The idea that we have an opportunity to become a customer service leader in our industry.<\/p>\n

Did Santa spoil you with any new tech gadgets over Christmas?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although I found no tech gadgets under the Christmas tree this year, I am hoping to treat myself to a new tablet computer very soon.<\/p>\n

Any favourite apps in your library?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I use the WeatherTrack and Bloomberg apps nearly every day.<\/p>\n

Online video in enterprise? Yes or no?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Definitely – it has much to offer for applications as diverse as video conferencing, online learning, advertising and even tutorials for customers.<\/p>\n

Social media?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Absolutely – it is becoming as much of an essential business tool as email or the Web. Every company needs to be using it to interact with employees, customers and other stakeholders.<\/p>\n

What do you do when you’re not at the office?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I like to keep fit and healthy – so I train at the gym a few times a week. I’m a keen traveller with a love of nature. There are few things I enjoy more than packing the gadgets and equipment and filling the car up for a road trip into Africa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
