About Ovations Technologies (Pty) Ltd

Enabling the Digital Enterprise

South African business leadership has always been early adopters and significantly used information technology to improve productivity, efficiency, reach new markets and optimize supply chains. What is significant in recent years is that customer expectations have changed radically from the past. The challenge facing all South African and global organisations for that matter is:

• How can they best respond to this paradigm shift?

This in Ovations’ opinion is the highly strategic journey of Digital Enablement including the critical intersection with Cloud Adoption as the strategic enabler. We, at Ovations, believe that digital enablement incorporates the change associated with the application of modern technology in all aspects of business and society, whereby Cloud Adoption is the way in which all business will implement and accelerate digital enablement.

As Ovations, we provide guidance to our clients through an entire lifecycle of the cloud adoption process including initiatives to mitigate strategic workloads to the cloud deployment models encompassing IaaS, PaaS, FaaS and SaaS. We provide the following summary core cloud adoption services in this regard:
