The future is continually growing on us. Therefore, gearing up to being future-ready is of utmost importance to all business.
Digital Transformation is aligning the business of today with the required positioning of the future, while understanding that being future-ready is geared both for a technical and human element. Technology has been a focus area for decades, however it will not be sole focal point in the future. Digital Transformation is thus key for aligning technology and the human element for both internal and external stakeholders.
We are able to provide a multitude of offerings around Digital Transformation, as well as taking it a step further to enhance upon leveraging this transformation to drive extended revenue and value to the business as well.
It is not just adequate any longer for your business to have a Location Based Services (LBS) or Marketing strategy.
LBS is an extensive investment that needs time to build behavior and profiling, then sanitised to identify true value. When spending large amounts on WiFi, there needs to be a component for immediate return for actual value to be realised timeously.
We are able to provide bespoke solutions that could add significant value to your business to drive revenue through a quick turnaround on identifying exact markets, then to compliment it with focused campaigns for extended markets. There are businesses now adopting a LBS or BLE strategy, however, we can introduce an entire 'Basket of Goods' that is comprehensively suited to create multiple propositions which would gear your business both for now and the next several years through a phased approach.
We do not solely focus on ICT, but more so focus on Business Capability.
We invest time into understanding of the business, then look at Strategic Enablement through ICT, as to how there are benefits to be realized not only around ICT, but upwards into the rest of the business. We are Innovation Technology Specialists; through understanding both ICT and Business itself, we are able to not look at ICT as an independent item, but see ICT as an enabler into the business as an investment, instead of ICT as an expense to the business.
Speaking to our capability through mentioning a single reference: We have developed the 5 Year ICT Strategy for 29 x Municipalities around Western Cape, as part of an SLA we've needed to deliver on for Western Cape Local Government.
First and foremost; Data Backups are just not enough. If you are a company solely having only standard Backups in place, or believing - either by yourself or being convinced by your IT Provider - that this is all you need, then you have a problem.
Apart from the norms of undertaking Backups for Disaster Management/Recovery, the threats of today are far beyond the norms. Most threats these days are from inside your Network; users, employees, guests, even you. You require Data, Business Continuity/Protection and Security.
Within this Vertical, our experience has seen us implement Platforms for many Businesses, the most expansive being at ARMSCOR and at the Square Kilometer Array (SKA, Global Telescope Project). We are Simplified Backup.
Solutions Architecture may not always be related to technical specifics. We are able to profile Business Solutions Architecture, whereby we leverage innovation and technology to define the architecture of a solution for your business capability.
Business capability is related to your holistic business, whereby we review the capability of what your bottom line may be, through innovative technology being rolled out that is capable of being seen as an investment, instead of an expense.
It may be the Digital Age, but many businesses are not aware of what they may trully achieve, which is where we can assist. Alongside you, we can collectively put together works of art, interesting innovation technology art.
Through being Certified, Accredited and Authorized Partners on a multitude of offerings, it has allowed us to strategically analyze and identify the best Platforms for undertaking specific functions, while ascertaining Best Practice Frameworks for various Business Requirements.
Essentially, we have comprehensive understanding around which 'Cloud' Platform would work for which scenario. Cloud is certainly not the panacea related to all your Business Requirements or Objectives, so let us assist you in knowing which Platform you need to 'climb to' and assist you with building the ladder towards reaching the desired outcomes.
We have delivered expansively within the Vertical seen as Cloud; from SAAS, IAAS and/or PAAS Solutions to tailor made bespoke Systems. To some clients, we are the Cloud.
Our WiFi Portfolio bursts at the seams with a history of large-scale and flagship projects which bears testament to our in-house capability and through it our Service Delivery.

Simplified IT Services were awarded the most strategic ICT tender to have ever been released by the Department of Local Government. Through the tender, they became the strategic partners of Government and were responsible for the drafting of the official ICT Strategy and its associated Implementation Plans for 29 out of the 30 municipalities that Western Cape comprises of. They delivered through exceeding our expectations and they consistently delivered each phase of the project at least 2 weeks before the deadline dates. The strategy delivered by them across to all of the 29 municipalities was comprehensive and succinct in terms of expressing our departmental objectives. I would advise them to anyone because they are a level 1 BBBEE QSE service provider who can deliver.
