Introducing KPMG South Africa’ Emerging Tech Unit
According to Shamit Govind, who heads up KPMG South Africa’s new Emerging Tech Unit, many technologies in Sub-Saharan Africa have been driven to date by large enterprise resource planning (ERP) companies. However, he believes that with the rise of niche emerging technologies, such as fintechs and agritechs, there is opportunity for more creative thinking around problem-solving.
‘In the past, you would need to take a traditional ERP approach, but at KPMG we believe those norms are no longer valid,’ he says. ‘We’re therefore taking a non-traditional approach that doesn’t look at all-encompassing or enterprise-wide problems facing businesses, but rather identifies unique issues that our clients are facing in specific areas, which we can help them to turn into value-creation.’
