Seven majority black-owned small businesses have been selected as winners of the CEO Circle Entrepreneurs Award for being deemed high-potential enterprises "with the ability to grow into a significant company of R500m-plus in value".

IT financing models are shifting. Is Africa trailing behind?

It’s safe to say that many African countries have a certain fascination with owning their technology. In Europe and America, however, 80% of businesses have abandoned ownership models for more flexibility and agility.

Keeping up with technology in the workplace

Year in and year out we are faced with new technological innovations changing the world around us.

Now more than ever, to compete and remain ahead of the curve, organisations need to be innovative and find areas where they can cut down costs to increase growth and profitability.

Who needs agility anyway

For many companies, investing in new technologies isn't a priority. Why fix things if they aren't broken? The thing is, responding quickly to advancements in technology ensures that an organisation has the competitive edge and the agility to pivot. Those that don't respond are left behind. 

Disownership is the new normal? How the face of IT procurement is changing

Power is currently shifting to whoever can provide experiences and services conveniently and with less effort on the part of the consumer. These disruptive technologies are transforming consumption models in the consumer market, but in recent years, we've seen business follow suit with the rise of the as-a-service (AAS) economy.

You wont own your future IT equipment

Everything as-a-service (Xaas) is transforming the business world, and it seems as though anything and everything will soon become available via an “as-a-service” model.

Keep up with new technology without spending a fortune

New technologies are advancing at an ever-increasing rate from the new developments in artificial intelligence, to wearable technology and self-driving cars.

Is it possible that leasing your IT could be cheaper than you thought?

There is a growing trend towards consumption-based business models such as leasing or subscription services. Attitudes and behaviours surrounding renting, borrowing, and leasing items versus ownership, are shifting.

Staying ahead of the game - The role of technology in business

“Technology will be embedded in everything in the digital business of the future,” David Cearley, vice president and Gartner Fellow told delegates at the Gartner 2017 Symposium/ITxpo.

5 Reasons why you should be leasing your technology equipment

Some of the greatest disruptors of our age do not own any assets, think Uber, Airbnb and Amazon. Now why would you want to own your IT equipment? Lease it instead.
