Today, businesses have to move faster, be more connected and operate in a more complex environment than ever before. Some may see this as a challenge, but it also empowers companies to reach levels that simply weren’t possible in the past, says Bill Hoggarth, enterprise information management business unit manager for Gauteng at Datacentrix.

What do these new possibilities look like? Well, we live in a world of automated, digital connectivity – with all technologies that fall within this brave new world converging into one melting pot. The key benefits of our current circumstance lie in our ability to be more agile, more relevant and more sustainable as a business. Not only are these technologies creating a new breed of business model, they’re also opening up an enormous amount of insight into how companies interact with their competitors, suppliers, partners and customers.
