Leading IT solutions company, Internet Solutions has rebranded to Dimension Data in a move to consolidate its business operations across Africa Business A.M has learnt.
According to a statement made available to Business A.M, the rebrand is in a bid by the company to better address the changing tech needs of its clients, to enhance efficiency in service delivery, and also to consolidate the company’s business operations.
In a related development, the company has appointed Olugbenga Olabiyi as its country manager in Nigeria to lead business operations in the country.
Reacting to the changes, Olabiyi stated that Dimension Data will remain steadfast in its seamless service delivery as well as efficiency-based services notwithstanding the company’s rebranding and integration processes.
He also noted that Dimension Data will focus on creating unique and bespoke IT solutions for its clients and also on delivering services that are value-driven “through customer engagement and outstanding technology infrastructure – that advance productivity and business growth.”
“We are happy to have received the government’s approval allowing us to rebrand and operate as Dimension Data. Our vision is to be a partner of choice for businesses; delivering innovative, game-changing technology and solutions not only in Nigeria but in the Middle East and Africa,” Olabiyi stated.
Meanwhile, Dimension Group of Companies, the parent company of Dimension Data, is rebranding and consolidating its operations across the rest of Africa and the Middle East where the company has subsidiaries. The rebranding sees Richard Hechle, the managing director of internet solutions, being appointed as the group’s head in East and West Africa.
Speaking on the new realignment, Hechle noted that the consolidation of the firm’s different businesses in the region will help open opportunities as well as engender better innovation as the organisation gives companies the framework to build their futures utilising groundbreaking technology.
According to Helche, “Bringing all our people and operating companies together will allow us to effectively and efficiently execute our go-to market strategy and enable our clients’ success in a digital-first world. This digital-first world is characterised by technologies that are converging to deliver unified, hybrid and holistic solutions for real business impact.”
“Reorganising ourselves to deliver what the market demands is driven with growth in mind and we are very excited about the future and are committed to bringing these changes online quickly. The role of technology in business is changing, therefore, how it is consumed, and the decisions related to technology are also changing. We are adapting to align our organisation to that of our client choices,” he said.
Speaking further, Helche stated: The way we collaborate with our clients is where we create the most significant value and sustainable business outcomes for them. The logic is clear: the more we focus on seamless client experiences, the more focused we become on delivering solutions that work. We believe that when we understand our clients’ needs, we deliver better solutions.”
