Organizations in South Africa are increasingly investing in next-generation technologies to benefit from the advantages of those technologies in a competitive environment. According to a recent IDC, South Africa survey among CIOs, half of organizations in South Africa are making significant progress toward becoming “future enterprises” through digital transformation (DX). Cloud solutions stand out as catalysts for the use of next-generation technologies.
