Case Study
Devices-as-a-Service

The University of South Africa (UNISA) is the largest university in Africa (by student numbers). Veritech was contracted to provide more than 5000 laptop devices as a service.

This essentially entailed configuring the devices and managing the logistics of delivering uniquely spec’d laptops to the right end-users throughout urban and rural South Africa.

Once delivered, Veritech had to provide initial and ongoing training, hardware protection, support and maintenance to all users and their devices for three years.

Homegrown was a well-established food brand with primary agri and food processing facilities throughout South Africa. These included bakeries, grain milling facilities and distribution warehouses.

Veritech provided much-needed managed IT services including ISP, VPN, telephony, email, domain, web and server hosting, cybersecurity and support services to more than 100 users and devices.

Our services included the provision of satellite connectivity for Homegrown’s farms and for its 2500+ network of small business retailers located in townships and rural villages of South Africa.

Case Study
Digital Transformation

When COVID struck, a need for remote/online nomination and voting solutions for elections in universities, schools, AGMs, Pension Funds, Trade Unions, Political Organizations, Municipalities and Company Boards arose.

KDBS appointed Veritech to formulate a bouquet of applications that would position it strongly within this market segment. Veritech has since provided cloud-based ICT Solutions to enable KDBS’ election management services and to support its clients in adopting online solutions for electoral purposes.
