Labat Africa, the JSE Securities Exchange-listed black majority-owned and -managed group, has formed a new business division called Tabal.
The new division will handle all the SAP consulting that was not core to Labat`s management consulting business.
"Being part of the Labat Africa group gives us an immediate footprint across the entire southern Africa region, including Botswana," says Vanessa Boucher, MD of Tabal Business Solutions.
"Several service partners have committed to working with us and we will aggressively focus on developing them into full business partners. We see ourselves complementing other SAP partners and it is our intention to forge good working relationships with them," says Gary Abrahams, director at Tabal Business Solutions.
"Previously, we have successfully engaged with services partners on implementation assignments such as Eskom and City Power," says Abrahams.
"We have the capacity to deliver, and aligning ourselves with the right partners will enhance our offering and potential market penetration," says Abrahams.
Tabal has taken over SAP clients from Labat`s management consulting division and aims for an additional two full SAP implementation projects completed in its first year of operation.
The business has inherited strong government and private sector relations and, Abrahams says: "The opportunity is there for us to demonstrate our service delivery capability and capacity."
Abrahams believes Tabal will be one of the few BEE SAP partners that can offer government and other clients, enterprise integration using the SAP open integration and application platform, NetWeaver.
The business already employs 10 certified consultants and two operational employees and plans to expand in the new year.
