Letter from the CEO
There is no silver bullet to success, is there? Like many of you, we at Topco have for a number of years been searching for the answers to digitisation challenges. It was out of curiosity, frustration and the numerous hurdles we had with technology that Africa Tech Week was born.
How is it that some companies get it right, and the rest of us struggle? The event is a remarkable opportunity for African entrepreneurs, big business, policyholders, funders, investors and startups to come together, learn, be inspired and meet their new customers or
continent. Everyone is aware that Africa has faced challenges, and it is together that we can solve them. Africa is a hotbed of potential in terms of measuring and testing concepts and ideas. What we lack in capital, we make up for in ingenuity, resilience and a ‘can do’ attitude. COVID has been a great chance to reset and equalise the playing field, and Sentech Africa Tech Week is a golden opportunity we need to seize NOW.
Sentech Africa Tech Week is to demonstrate how Africa is transforming the world. This can be accelerated with advocates, like you, giving us feedback about the challenges you are facing, and by connecting with one another. It is going to take each of us shining a light on the good and great that is happening around tech in Africa to help propel the continent’s growth and reputation.
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the ‘new frontier.’

Foreword >>
Mlamli Booi
CEO | Sentech
As our Continent steadily moves away from archaic and rigid technologies, that impede innovation and progress, the SENTECH Africa Tech Week conference seeks to cultivate a platform for African technology-orientated businesses to be global frontrunners and problem solvers.
Panel discussions from various technology pundits from the private sector, speakers from businesses and higher learning institutions, virtual exhibitions, and networking with innovative minds are what attendees can anticipate from the conference. It is pleasing and encouraging that as the African continent we have begun to understand, embrace and apply 4 th industrial revolution (4IR) technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), Machine Learning, Big Data, Internet of Things (IoT), cloud services, and cryptocurrency.

Businesses and participants will leave the conference with new-found knowledge and ways to grow their organizations by incorporating these exciting new ideas and solutions. SENTECH, as a headline sponsor, is pleased to be part of creating a platform for diverse people to share ideas and best practices that educate and edify Africa on the plethora of opportunities available. Together we are utilising the 4IR to lead innovation and digital transformation enabling Africa to prosper and to be less reliant on the rest of the world for their technological expertise.
The awards ceremony will be a token of appreciation to businesses, institutions and individuals from the continent who are determined

AI: AIZATRON PUTS AI INTO THE ENGINE ROOM
As businesses drive their digitalisation strategies, they forget about the complexity that is created for operational management teams who must continue to monitor legacy systems while skilling up and supporting new systems. The operational environments are becoming exponentially more complex and existing staff are expected to support much more than before.
When deploying AI into the Engine Room, AI unlocks real and instant value to large organisations with complex IT infrastructure. The real value of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to a business today exists in the engine room of Business Support Systems (BSS) and Operational Support Systems (OSS).
At Aizatron, where our clients include some of the largest companies on the African continent, we leverage AI and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) technologies to automate smart operational bots that act across operational platforms and various company silos.
Using AI to create smart RPA bots, ensures that learning is built into the organisational systems, thereby improving the business maturity levels by creating a learning organisation. It also frees up employees to focus on more complex, value added and creative tasks within the organisation, making it more agile, flexible, and adaptable to future emerging market and business conditions.
Our expert service offerings include: 1. Data Automation 2. Knowledge Acquisition 3. Knowledge Transfer 4. Automation Operations Manual 5. Multi-Bot Execution 6. Customisation of Automated learning for specific situations 7. Actionable Operations
Aizatron’s operational AI is used to identify the type of problem which it then uses to select the correct procedures to follow from the automation operations manual. Additionally, Customised Dashboards are created to provide management with necessary transparency required to navigate the business more efficiently.
AIZATRON’S ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND DATA-AS-A-SERVICE (AIDAS)
AIDAS Platform Delivers an AI Driven Data Analytics Platform at a Fraction of the Cost of Traditional Approaches Data is everywhere, where every modern system now produces data. In this digital economy, the scale and complexity created by a connected world makes existing Data Analytics systems ineffective. Companies can process Petabytes of internal and
external human and machine data, from various sources, while rapidly translate the data into business knowledge and then results in automated business action.
BI and data analytical teams cannot meet the growing demand by business who are increasingly coming under threat from emerging competitors who can process data faster than they can – giving them a competitive advantage. Hence, Aizatron developed the Artificial Intelligent Data Analytics as a Service (AIDAS) platform to address these problems. Aizatron realised that companies will have to reinvest huge lumpsum into building such a system and many large companies that have invested into building data lakes and massive data warehouses have largely failed due to the following reasons:
• Companies are using old technology. The hardware provided is not enough to accommodate high speed data processing and it cannot scale up or down fast enough.
• Users must wait for the BI team to deliver the results in 2 to 3 weeks later rather than having their own dashboard and interface where they can produce their own queries and results sets in real-time/ nearreal-time.
• Systems are built around reactive analytics addressing problems too late. The ability to do predictive modelling for future insights is limited or takes too long.
AIDAS enables any business irrespective of size to have a quick-to-implement and lower risk complete Data Analytics Platform. Combined with the resources and hardware AIDAS will instantly begin delivering value to the business at a fraction of the cost of internally built platforms. AIDAS is a cloud-based, multi-tenant Data Analytics Platform solution currently deployed on the Aizatron AWS VPC.
It quickly enables customers to implement a modern Data Analytics Platform at a fraction of cost of traditional solutions. Aizatron has decades of experience in deployment of high-speed data analytics solutions for some of the largest Telcos in South Africa.
AIDAS includes The Aizatron Data Analytics System in the cloud, analytics database, artificial intelligent & machine learning toolkits, data integration interfaces into platforms such as SAP, Hadoop, Cloudera, Oracle, Microsoft and various OSS and BSS systems. It also includes Financial Controls, Compliance modules, API Gateways to enable Secure API Integration, Secure Interfaces to third parties & Streaming Social Media Platforms, Secure Dashboard & Reporting Interfaces.
AIZATRON SUSTAINABILITY DASHBOARD
Aizatron has embarked on a journey of becoming a more sustainable organisation. Thanks to our ability to continuously monitor our efforts, we are now proudly carbon negative! How have we done that? Like with anything in life, when you set yourself a goal, measuring your progress is an essential part of ensuring that you achieve that goal. The same should be applied to an organisation that wants to become more sustainable. At Aizatron, we have installed an intelligent combination of technologies that helped us become a carbon negative organisation. To name a few, we have installed solar panels & the Aizatron smart irrigation system which is connected to our eco garden to save energy, water & contribute to the purification of the air. All that was great but without visibility, there was no clear & easy way to know how these efforts contributed positively to our sustainability efforts.
How have we gained visibility? The answer is the Aizatron Sustainability Dashboard that was built using Splunk on our AWS cloud that provides visibility & insights to invaluable data gained from our own technology. We can monitor our usage in real-time & detect potential opportunities to reduce our energy or water utilisation. We are constantly improving our environment to become more sustainable & can assist your organisation to do the same. n
