A strong move toward BEE involvement in the WebTec range of solutions has always been a goal within WebTec`s developments in southern Africa. With a bigger reach and extensive growth locally in mobile applications than with the Internet, the ideal arena for a BEE partnership has been established. WebText, the mobile solution division of Webtec, and MSND Solutions have partnered to form a truly South African mobile v-WASP, TseboWeb.
The TseboWeb ranges of mobile applications are ideally positioned to take to the African market and offer solutions to SMMEs, corporates and government. These include, inter alia, SMS functionalities, database creation and mobile communications.
Wide-ranging interest has been received from areas such as Nigeria and Senegal, and projects are under way to offer solutions in the areas of data-mining, education, politics and the petroleum, gaming and mining industries.
"This relationship is a first of its kind in the mobile industry and a real partnership between a previously disadvantaged company and WebTec," says TseboWeb CEO, Felix Ngwenya.
"Here we have real empowerment with a relationship that allows for First World technology to be applied throughout Africa, with our focus on southern Africa. With this deal, we are in a position to speed up the process of crossing the digital divide and contributing proactively to the Nepad initiative. Our solutions also combine to make use of the best that the two companies have to offer, creating a powerful solution for the unique needs of African markets."
