FEATURE: SAAS
The Software-as-a-Service
(SaaS) market is certainly
on the rise and is expected
to reach US$185.8 billion
by 2024. Intelligent CIO
explores why many
industries are adopting
it and how it is being
implemented in Africa.
S
aaS is a model in which software
and other associated data is hosted
centrally and accessed with the
help of a web browser. The model allows
users to gain access to various components
and features of software with the help of a
subscription model and without the need for
worrying about product licenses.
DigiBlu is a leader in digital workplace
implementation and has signed a
partnership with Thoughtonomy to deliver
the first SaaS based intelligent automation
solution in Africa.
Among the first organisations to be taking
advantage of the new partnership is a
premier South African financial services group,
which is deploying the Intelligent Automation
platform within its subsidiary in Namibia
to process a number of core customer
onboarding and account management
processes which largely depend on systems at
the parent in South Africa.
