Business Process Automation Using Public Cloud

One of the major inhibitors for growth of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) on the African continent is the lack of automation of their business processes. Most SMEs cannot afford to invest in in-house IT, and there is a significant shortage of skilled labor. Public Cloud Computing offers a solution: required IT resources can be rented on a pay-as-you-go basis, whereby the elastic compute model of the public cloud allows to scale resource usage up and down following the real-time demand.

We cover a wide range of cloud strategies, including:

  • Configuration and connectivity of SaaS applications
  • Proof of Concept implementation
  • Cost profiling
  • Migration of existing applications to a public cloud
  • Disaster recovery and business continuity
  • Capacity expansion

CSRspace helps clients to develop a Cloud Computing strategy and can bring in seasoned practitioners to deliver an end-to-end cloud solution. We have the flexibility to match our services to our client's project size and complexity as well as the degree of IT involvement and knowledge transfer that is desired.

Information Technology Outsourcing (ITO)

The development of the ICT sector has contributed significantly to the growth of the GDP of most developed nations. For developing countries, building an ICT economy has allowed them to leapfrog slow and costly industrialization. The ICT sector has been the major economic driver in Sub-Saharan Africa over the past decade, witnessing an annual compounded growth rate of 40%.

Expanding that investment in developing countries in Africa is an important initiative for the continent and its future growth. Key areas of ICT in Africa are the mobile market and Information Technology Outsourcing (ITO). ITO had a major impact on India and Eastern Europe, but companies are looking for new markets and Africa has started to become an ITO destination.
