Nambiti NextWave Consulting (N^2 Consulting), the recently announced joint venture between Nambiti Technologies and NextWave Collaborative Business Solutions, says that listening to customers` requirements is what sets it apart from the competition, and has allowed it to evolve its role to one of true partnership-oriented solutions provision and skills empowerment.
"The key objective of the joint venture was to consolidate the skills sets of both companies, in order to create an organisation of critical mass and capability, that truly embodies, in spirit and letter, the objectives of broad-based black empowerment," points out Vincent Smith, Chairman of the board of N^2 Consulting.
This is according to Werner Simpson, Chief Operations Officer (COO) of N^2 Consulting.
N^2 Consulting is the first black empowered special expertise partner for lifecycle data management under the SAP Africa Partner Programme.
As such, N^2 Consulting and its sister-company NextWave Software, are fast-becoming a showcase for South African IT talent and innovation on the international stage.
Apparently, while maintaining a close relationship with N^2 Consulting, NextWave Software maintains a fully independent market position.
"What SA urgently requires right now is effective service delivery, particularly in the crucial area of infrastructural and facilities development - such as that undertaken by the civil engineering and construction industries," emphasises Vincent Smith, Chairman of the board of N^2 Consulting.
"Due to the strong engineering focus of many of our solutions, N^2 Consulting is making a vital contribution to this development cycle, by empowering end-users to do their jobs more accurately and efficiently - in other words, real skills empowerment," he points out.
"The formation of N^2 Consulting has allowed for the creation of a preferred delivery channel for the proprietary software NextWave Software develops for SAP integration," Simpson points out.
"N^2 Consulting is furthermore the only local IT service provider to offer a complete, end-to-end holistic data lifecycle management solution for complex engineering content and data archiving - across the entire value chain," he explains.
"The primary focus area of N^2 Consulting is the delivery of enterprise solutions for mySAP Product Lifecycle Management, specifically in the area of Lifecycle Data Management solutions and services within the SAP Africa and SAP Public Services customer base," according to Kevin Paul, N^2 Consulting`s Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
"As such, our service offering provides the increased levels of content granularity required by asset-centric industries, such as engineering, manufacturing and the facilities management arena," says Paul.
According to Smith, the most common engineering formats of Bentley Microstation and AutoCAD are fully supported on all these levels.
"Furthermore, a strong focus in the deployment of the SAP Document Management System also forms a cornerstone of our activities in the market," Simpson adds.
"To date, achievements of the company include the delivery of a comprehensive asset configuration management solution on an SAP platform at Spoornet, the commissioning of the first SAP document management system at Eskom and the integration of engineering business processes at Iscor Steel and the Engen Refinery," N^2 Consulting`s Paul details.
"In addition, service engagements for SAP data and document archiving solutions include African Development Bank, Eskom, Nation Media and Pioneer Foods," he concludes.
