Technology has transformed our world, and new innovations appear at breakneck speed.<\/p>\n
Given the dizzying speed of change under the influence of COVID-19, it is easy to become overwhelmed, focus exclusively on what comes next, and forego the need to be intentional in assembling a made-for-purpose technology stack for your business.<\/p>\n
While we\u2019re still waiting to see the 2020 numbers, IT spending in South Africa totaled about R303.46 billion in 2019, a 3.9% increase from 2018, according to Gartner, Inc<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Software spending in South Africa will reach R32 billion in 2019, an 11.4% increase from 2018. Cloud computing is a new reality in South Africa. South African organisations are consuming significant amounts of cloud services, including software as a service, platform as a service and infrastructure as a service. CIOs in South Africa have started adopting cloud-first strategies.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The major cause of these rising costs is disjointed and mismatched technology systems that each come with their own maintenance and service requirements, as well as a resulting budget line.<\/p>\n Consolidating current technology options under a single, integrated service is therefore a logical step towards optimising your systems and driving down costs.<\/p>\n Understandably, the emergence of the coronavirus has dramatically accelerated the process of integrating business tech, as industries around the globe race to get online as fast as they can.<\/p>\n But as many observers have noted, the state of business technology under COVID-19 is more like triage \u2014 a form of crisis management \u2014 and not at all like skillfully managed integrated technology.<\/p>\n The question is no longer whether you need technology for your business to succeed, but instead how to integrate your technology solutions so your business can reach its goals.<\/p>\n Infoprotect is your complete business technology partner, providing custom, integrated solutions that solve any business-specific technological needs.<\/p>\n They take complete responsibility in guiding companies through all the available options and provide them with custom-designed solutions that will actually enable their success while delivering an ongoing service in maintenance and upkeep.<\/p>\n For example:<\/p>\n The direct benefits from a purposefully integrated technology stack include increase in production, lowered costs and ultimately a healthy, sustainably growing business.<\/p>\n For Nando\u2019s, a major South African based international restaurant franchise, ICT downtime equates to a loss of business and negative customer experiences.<\/p>\n Infoprotect\u2019s Cradlepoint solution helped ensure secure failover capability for all Nando\u2019s restaurant communications. In the words of<\/a><\/strong> Stephen Brookstein, Nando\u2019s head of technology:<\/p>\n Nando’s is 30 years young and facing the same challenges as all businesses in the local market, stability is the key to offering customers a better experience, and this requires an integration of technology.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Don\u2019t let mismatched legacy systems compromise your productivity and rob your business of its profitability.
