business intelligence (BI) provider Inca has acquired iCentric, a local BI company, facilitating its introduction into the South African market.
“The launch of Inca will enable local companies to tap into our extensive global network and expertise. This will give them access to an unparalleled level of service and skills,” states Inca MD, Keith Jones.
Inca's skill set includes expertise in group consolidation, budgeting and planning, dashboards and scorecards, forecasting and modelling, profitability analysis, cost to server models, KPI modelling and reporting analysis.
Jones notes that Inca will build on the strengths of the iCentric business, which is well established in the local market with strong IBM Cognos experience. “The marriage between the two is a good one,” says Jones. Both are providers of IBM's Cognos solutions.
According to Jones, while the deal strengthens the offering to local companies, it also consolidates Inca's leadership position in the EMEA region, acting as a “springboard for the rest of Africa”.
