Technology a business imperative at Datacentrix Showcase 2024, emphasising changing of lives through tech Ahmed Mahomed , Group Chief Executive Officer at Datacentrix , during his CEO address on 'Intelligent, connected, and responsible leadership in the new business era'.
The concept for this year's showcase, 'Changing lives through technology', reflects Datacentrix's ongoing commitment to exploring and embracing innovative, sustainable solutions that simultaneously support local businesses, while also contributing positively to communities and the environment. “When business leaders are re-imagining their organisations through a technology lens,” he clarified, “it must be remembered that every company is unique, with different business imperatives and maturity levels. Digital leadership embraces a broad understanding of how technology can be harnessed to achieve business objectives.
A lively conversation then unfolded between President Ntuli, Managing Director of HPE South Africa, and Sanjeev Katwa, Technology Director at Tottenham Hotspur Football Club in London. Added Busi Matube of the Central University of Technology: “The use of AI in higher education is currently a highly-topical issue and is presenting challenges to both students and the institution alike. However, I believe that over the longer term, the use of AI will bring beneficial changes to the education sector.”
“Since 2013, South Africa has seen a significant rise in unemployment,” Jammine stated. “The question must therefore be asked: how can we use technology to increase employment opportunities? There is a great need to place an increased focus on technology and education, particularly in rural and outlying areas. However, the low level of mathematical abilities in South Africa’s citizens brings a detrimental effect on the required cognitive levels for technology functionality.
