Sahara Computers has played a crucial role in helping SA's new cricket coach Ray Jennings strategise during the Protea's current tour in India. The ICT company has provided reliable, robust and portable technology in the form of its branded notebook.
As an established Proudly South African PC brand and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) with vested interest in the development of cricket, Sahara Computers recently handed over its latest branded notebook to the coach for use during the country's tour to India.
Jennings has the benefit of instant connectivity to the Internet and e-mail via Sahara's e-service Sahara Online. The notebook is powered by Intel Centrino processing technology and represents the very best Sahara technology to delivery optimum performance and effective, high-speed connectivity.
To suggest Sahara Computers is passionate about cricket is a huge understatement. The company demonstrated this earlier in the year when it announced a long-term, multimillion-rand sponsorship agreement with three provincial cricket unions. This also meant a change in name for the respective stadiums, hence the introduction of Sahara Park Newlands, Sahara Stadium Kingsmead and Sahara Oval St Georges.
The company followed this up by signing national cricket captain Graeme Smith as its brand ambassador and then captured the signatures of several national squad members as brand representatives, including Shaun Pollock, Jacques Kallis, Makhaya Ntini, Boeta Dippenaar, Jacques Rudolph, Martin van Jaarsveld, and Neil McKenzie, six of whom are playing on the tour.
"Sahara Computers is proud to offer its key expertise and help coach Ray Jennings with technology to instantly capture and analyse match and player statistics," says Atul Gupta, MD of Sahara Computers. "These players perform with the same level of passion and dedication with which we continue to distribute digital lifestyle technology. This synergy will prove beneficial to all communities."
