South African-based ICT company Dimension Data plans to focus on service-led market opportunities such as networking, virtualisation, unified communication and collaboration.
While presenting DiData's annual financial results, yesterday, CEO Brett Dawson said the company constantly seeks to align its “go-to-market offerings” with current and upcoming market trends. “This is to ensure that we offer our clients solutions relevant to their business issues.”
From a technology market trend perspective, said Dawson, DiData will look to invest further in its capabilities and offerings in the network, as the core business infrastructure enabler, including unified communications and collaboration, visual technologies and virtualisation.
He added that the company will expand its competence in market developments such as cloud computing and services-based models, like infrastructure-as-a-service, to provide additional opportunities for growth.
Dimension Data said its network-centric offerings are vital for clients to be able to operate effectively in today's IP- and convergence-powered environment, where the network is increasingly the core platform for all forms of IT and telecommunications.
Performance culture
A key factor behind the resilience shown in the face of challenging economic times is the group's high-performance culture, one in which its people are consistently encouraged to maximise opportunity, he noted.
Dawson added that the company's chosen positioning in the global IT market and the execution of its strategy have been successful. “We will continue to invest in systems, processes and people to enhance our services offerings for our clients and improve our execution capabilities.”
According to Dawson, DiData anticipates the market segments in which it operates will perform better in the next financial year, and that the group will be able to deliver revenue growth. The company reported a cash balance of $600 million for the year ended 30 September.
