How Adobe Sign Eases Digital Transformation & Supports Business Continuity
The impact of the global pandemic on businesses revealed inefficiencies in outdated processes and highlighted the benefits of digital transformation. “There are still many organisations using paper-based document processes that are slow, cumbersome and difficult to manage,” says Jeremy Matthews CEO of Dax Data, Adobe’s Distributor in Africa. “In addition, they are highly insecure and vulnerable to fraud. Digital document processes, in particular E-signatures, have a critical role to play in an organisation’s digital transformation journey; as well as assisting in improved business resilience and continuity”, continues Matthews. Over the past year, we have seen businesses across industries including Alphabet, Nedbank, Twitter and PwC – shifting to a hybrid remote work model. This decentrali...
Why PoPIA Compliance Remains a Challenge for Many SA Businesses
South Africa’s Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) officially came into effect in July and many businesses are still facing compliance challenges in how personal information is stored and processed.

How to Manage the Endpoint Complexity Across Diverse Devices & Platforms
Image sourced from iStock. Today’s dynamic corporate world runs on spontaneity and all enterprises demand a diverse device infrastructure to cater to the needs of their businesses. IT teams of every organization would prefer restricting their device fleets to a common category with a common operating system to maintain a standardized endpoint management protocol. However, factoring in the versatility of businesses today and the surge in the BYOD work model, that would be less likely. Employees, especially the ones working in a BYOD environment, want to choose devices that they trust. Businesses also accept this device and platform heterogeneity because it all boils down to adopting what works best for the business’s success. What are the challenges faced by enterprises in hosting diverse d...
Why Managed Services are the Data Solution that Africa Needs
Gerhard Fourie, Channel Lead at Commvault Africa.

A challenging technology environment Acce...
