IFS' strategic objectives are to build a great partner ecosystem in Africa, the company says.

Enterprise applications company IFS has appointed Kgosi Informatics of Botswana and iNENSA of Uganda as channel partners to expand its reach in Sub-Saharan Africa.

IFS says it will collaborate with the two companies to provide customers with enterprise resource planning, enterprise asset management and enterprise service management solutions in its target markets.

IFS customers in Sub-Saharan Africa will benefit from the industry expertise and technical skills on offer from Kgosi Informatics and iNENSA, it adds.

iNENSA is a systems integrator with experience in implementing business solutions that help companies in the manufacturing, service provider, utility, retail, education and financial services sectors to streamline their business processes and enhance their agility.

The company operates in Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Burundi.

Kgosi Informatics is a Botswana-based software and solutions company that helps organisations in the public and private sectors to drive efficiencies in their businesses. It will focus on the defence vertical in partnership with IFS.

"It is a pleasure to welcome Kgosi and iNENSA to our growing network of Greater Africa business partners as our momentum throughout the continent grows and our business reaches new territories, says Gawie van der Merwe, MD at IFS Africa.

"They both have excellent track records in helping their clients run more efficient and agile businesses. Our software capabilities, paired with our new partners' skills base, can help clients drive rapid return on investment as they modernise their business systems."

According to IFS, consultants from both companies joining the IFS Partner Network will be certified through IFS Academy - the official IFS training and certification programme.

They will be equipped with the skills and knowledge they need to ensure customers realise the most value from IFS Applications, it says.

"Our goal is to help clients in our target vertical markets to become more flexible, efficient and profitable, says Neville Wattanga, assistant vice president Solutions at iNENSA.

"IFS offers technology and specialist industry expertise that can help African companies drive operational excellence, competiveness, and innovation."

IFS Africa director Thabo Ndlela says one of IFS' strategic objectives is to build a great partner ecosystem in Africa.

"Our partners have a vital role in helping us to increase product and support revenues. We see our partners as a natural extension of our business because they supplement our skills, extend our reach, and help us to unlock value for our clients."
