Software Futures has been named a Top 300 Company by the Trade and Industry Department.
Software Futures, previously part of the MGX group, was sold in August to a consortium comprising Kopano Ke Matla Investment Company and structured finance house Brown Brother Holdings.
Kopano Ke Matla is the investment arm of the Congress of South African Trade Unions.
Kopano CEO Colin Matjila says the deal has transformed Software Futures KKM into a broad-based empowerment company.
Software Futures KKM's CEO, Arthur Brown, says the company has a strong corporate client base that includes Vodacom, Sanlam, Multichoice, Afgri, Kalahari.net and Old Mutual. "We also have strong alliances with some key players in the industry such as IBM, Microsoft, Sun and Rational."
Software Futures KKM is expanding its range of products and services and is hoping to attract more business based on its empowerment credentials.
The company was awarded the top spot in its commercial sector when named a Top 300 Company and also has a BBB rating from empowerment rating firm Empowerdex.
