Lefatshe moves on municipal market


Johannesburg, 17 Jan 2008

Lefatshe Technologies, the South African black-owned ICT and security solutions provider, has been awarded rights to market, distribute and implement the powerful municipal software management suite from CIPAL.

CIPAL is a Belgian-based software company that has specialised in the development of software specific to municipalities and local government agencies for 30 years.

The CIPAL suite comprises modules for financial management, document handling, human resources, meeting and minute management, multi-year planning and budgeting, management information and business intelligence, town planning (inclusive of GIS), cemetery planning and inventory and stock management.

"In order to totally fulfil our commitment to the provision of solutions across all spheres of government, Lefatshe's strategy has been expanded to include the local government market sector. This sector is vital as it is a primary touch-point of service-delivery to the South African citizenry, and as improvement in service-delivery is a prime focus of government, Lefatshe is now poised to assist municipalities to improve efficiencies, deliver value and fulfil its core business objectives," states Lefatshe CEO Noedine Isaacs-Mpulo.

"Lefatshe has opened a dedicated division to cope with the expected flow of business and as Lefatshe's business model has always been to ensure that its clients are supported by excellent technical support, a considerable investment will be made to up-skill resources to deliver in the municipal space," comments Isaacs-Mpulo.

CIPAL is a dedicated governmental ICT agency, providing its partners with state-of-the-art ICT solutions, tailor-made to the exact and specific needs of government. They currently have 188 associates, municipalities, towns, social welfare centres, provincial authorities and other inter-communal organisations worldwide that forms not only their client-base, but also contributes towards an ongoing process to continually build and improve the CIPAL offering.
