OpenText Summit Africa

It's a wrap.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our customers and partner sponsors for supporting us at OT Africa Summit this year.

We had the privilege to host over 500 customers and partners at our flagship annual event, where delegates had the opportunity to hear from our emerging markets regional executives, listen to an awe-inspiring keynote by Miles Khubeka, Chief Executive Officer, Wakanda Food Accelerator, and listen to an inspirational Women in Tech panel discussion led by Susan Page, Sales Director, OpenText Africa.

The tracks also didn’t disappoint. Attendees could attend the “Discover Business Value” or “Discover Digital Value” streams and learn how OpenText is enabling organizations to become more agile, innovative and gain a competitive edge.

Phil Anderson, Sales Leader, Datacentrix

We join the Datacentrix leadership in their exco meeting in 2030 to discuss their partner OpenText’s uncanny ability to predict the future, and the value they have delivered to their clients over the past 7 years. They talk about the evolution of the product portfolio to harness the power of technologies such as AI, Hyper Automation and Machine Learning, creating solutions that transcended mere content management and kicked the competition into touch. They highlight how OpenText created tangible value for their clients by adapting and integrating emerging technologies to deal with the massive explosion of content; delivering hyper personalised and intelligent content delivery, seamless process automation, predictive analytics and enhanced security into the product stack. They discuss the successful outcomes Datacentrix and OpenText have delivered in the market, implementing deeply immersive customer experiences that drastically enhanced efficiency in their clients’ business execution.

Guest Speaker Keynote: An Entrepreneurial Mindset - All about business sustainability and embracing sustainability (not only in the food industry but in business in general)
Miles Khubeka, Chief Executive Officer, Wakanda Food Accelorator

Entrepreneur Miles Kubheka, a refreshing keynote speaker and author, is the poster child for the audacity of hope. Having once been employed by a leading multinational, he went out on a limb and ingeniously created a restaurant with the same name and branding as a fictional restaurant portrayed in a famous ‘beeg beeg dreamer’ TV ad campaign. In doing so, he catapulted into media stardom, and soon translated his innovative thinking into entrepreneurial success.

Evolving end point management: securing devices and protecting data
Kevin Kemp, Sales Specialist Application Modernization, OpenText

With the evolution of endpoint management, more and more endpoints are being managed through cloud-based services while still using embedded management options within Android, iOS, and Windows. This session will cover these modern management options and how OpenText ZENworks can complement them to manage and secure your devices, as well as protect the data that resides on them.
